I'm drowning

I'm weakening

I blame you

I'm whispering

To myself,

Of how strong

I was without you

Now I'm depending

On you

Waiting

On you

Hoping

For you

I'm drowning

Without you

And I hate you

For catching 

Me every time I fall

I'm drowning

I'm hating

That I'm escaping

You, but I'm failing

I'm hating

That you're smiling

Because I'm failing

I'm trying

I'm trying

And I'm tiring

It's eating 

Me, I'm wearing

Down, I'm Drowning.
