The loss of love is a deadly thing when it's keeping you afloat
What happened to our love?
Our heads used to bob above this water
Now the weight of my tears is dragging me below
If this fails, I’ve no place to go but down
He never seems to care, any time, anywhere
It doesn’t matter anymore, there’s nothing more here for me
My feet have finally stopped treading this water

This water closes over my head, eager to welcome me forever
The air is pushed from my lungs, the bubbles bursting above the surface
My lungs burn with fire but the cold numbs the flames
My conscious is swimming as my body is sinking
My eyes are fluttering closed but I hardly notice;
my vision has been stained black for so long
My pain is receding but my heart is still bleeding these bubbles of air

There is no one here to save me; the one who could is long gone
He left long ago, all that remains is hollow
Devoid of emotions, Love, Joy and Sorrow
Where did he go so long ago, will he ever come back- I need to know
If there's nothing left but misery, I wont fight the darkness closing over me
But if there's hope for a new tomorrow, I will gladly shed this sorrow
To be with the one who holds me dear, whose love had kept me afloat so long

But it’s too late. The darkness has long since closed in; my life is almost gone
I can no longer breathe; it’s been so long since this water swallowed me
He is swimming swiftly towards me, but he's just too late
He bangs on my chest, but i'm going into the light
The light abruptly fades and everything is black again
I open my eyes and feel his arms holding me once again above this water.
