Just a limp, lifeless body

Floating face down in the water.

Somewhere, someone is missing me

Tears upon cheeks for their daughter.

I never meant to cause any pain

I'd do it differently if I could do it again:

But I'm dead, in the water.

One short life, now it's gone

Couldn't carry on with no feeling.

Didn't fit in, couldn't belong

No sign of my heart wounds healing

I never meant to cause any pain

I'd do it differently if I could do it again:

But I'm dead, dead in the water. Dead in the water.

Moved along with the flow

bloated and nibbled by the sea.

Eyeless, I lay gazing below

From depths they are staring at me.

I'll never taste the salt water of your tears.

Never watch as your life peters out.

Never share my growing strong years.

Never suffer through longing or doubt.

Never nourish the flesh of my womb.

Never cherish the children I'd make.

Never return from my watery tomb.

Never that pathway would I take.

I never meant to cause any pain

I'd do it differently if I could do it again:

But I'm dead, dead in the water.

Dead, dead in the water

Dead.
