Heavier Than Water Lyrics

Rings of roses,
tied round my neck,
heavier than water.

Burn the new flesh,
watch it turn red,
heavier than water.

I can't stand to see you out there knowing what you did.
I can't stand to hear you talking like I don't exist.
I can't stand to live without you, anything but this,
anything but this.

Take a deep breath,
feels so weightless,
lighter than a feather.

Looks like quick-sand,
come take my hand,
lighter than a feather.

I can't stand to see you out there knowing what you did.
I can't stand to hear you talking like I don't exist.
I can't stand to live without you, anything but this,
anything but this.

Don't you want to see the light?
Don't you want to see the darker side?

Bright white angel light,
don't you want to see the darker side?

Anything but this,
anything but this,
anything but...

I can't stand to see you out there knowing what you did.
I can't stand to hear you talking like I don't exist.
I can't stand to live without you, anything but this,
anything but this,
anything but this,
anything but this.

Rings of roses,
tied round my neck,
heavier than water.

Burn the new flesh,
watch it turn red,
heavier than water.

I can't stand to see you out there knowing what you did.
I can't stand to hear you talking like I don't exist.
I can't stand to live without you, anything but this,
anything but this.

Take a deep breath,
feels so weightless,
lighter than a feather.

Looks like quick-sand,
come take my hand,

I can't stand to see you out there knowing what you did.
I can't stand to hear you talking like I don't exist.
I can't stand to live without you, anything but this,
anything but this.

Don't you want to see the light?
Don't you want to see the darker side?

Bright white angel light,
don't you want to see the darker side?

Anything but this,
anything but this,
anything but...

I can't stand to see you out there knowing what you did.
I can't stand to hear you talking like I don't exist.
I can't stand to live without you, anything but this,
anything but this,
anything but this,
anything but this.

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.
