Drowning In Ankle Deep Water Lyrics

You are the shark drowning in shallow water
Sleeping with your dreams tied to a concrete pillow
Throw everything
Burn the roses
Burn our years
Your mouth lying under the water
Under the influence of fake tears
It’s not easy to forget
When a memory’s sunk this deep in your heart
I don’t want to miss you anymore
I don’t want to love you anymore
We never meant anything to you
I hope you get what you deserve
I don’t want to miss you
I don’t want to love you
If it means anything to you
You’re going to get what you deserve

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
