Drowning Lyrics
This ain't a bad cup of coffee
I guess we agree on that much
And I should be counting my blessings
In the light of your fading touch
But I'm tired of the game
And I'd sure like to blame you
For turning my dreams into dust
But I'm spinning and it's all because of you
Guess I'll go back on the highway
And keep on searching for light
Some much needed coin in my pocket
And I'll prove that I'm doing alright
But I could get paid for a thousand days
And I still would be begging at night
Yeah, I'm crying and it's all because of you
Are there happy endings?
Is there a sun up in the sky?
Well it's hard to get excited
When I'm gettin' nothin' back
And I'm tired of asking why
Jesus, you let me down again
World, I guess you ain't my friend
I could get high till I broke through the sky
But I still would be singin' the blues
But I'm drowning and it's all because of you
Yeah, I'm drowning and it's all because of you
Dream with me now, my darling
In my cave deep under the ground
I'm pretty good at pretending
That the sun will never go down
But I see in your eyes
That you're held to those lies
And I just can't be hearing that sound
Oh, I'm fading and it's all because of you
How much are happy endings?
Can I buy you that moon up in the sky?
I wanna see the day
But it seems that you don't wanna play
And I'm tired, yeah I'm tried of asking why
Jesus, you let me down again
World, I guess you ain't my friend
I could get laid in a thousand ways
But I still would be singin' the blues
But I'm drowning and it's all because of you
Jesus, you let me down again
World, world, world, world, you ain't nobody's friend
I could get paid for a thousand days
But I still would be wearing those shoes
I could get laid in a thousand ways
But I still would be think 'bout you
I could get high till I crashed through the sky
But I still would be singin' the blues
But I'm drowning and it's all because of you (Yeah)
Yeah, I'm drowning and it's all because of you
Yeah, I'm drowning and it's all because of you
I guess we agree on that much
And I should be counting my blessings
In the light of your fading touch
But I'm tired of the game
And I'd sure like to blame you
For turning my dreams into dust
But I'm spinning and it's all because of you
And keep on searching for light
Some much needed coin in my pocket
And I'll prove that I'm doing alright
But I could get paid for a thousand days
And I still would be begging at night
Yeah, I'm crying and it's all because of you
Is there a sun up in the sky?
Well it's hard to get excited
When I'm gettin' nothin' back
And I'm tired of asking why
World, I guess you ain't my friend
I could get high till I broke through the sky
But I still would be singin' the blues
But I'm drowning and it's all because of you
Yeah, I'm drowning and it's all because of you
In my cave deep under the ground
I'm pretty good at pretending
That the sun will never go down
That you're held to those lies
And I just can't be hearing that sound
Oh, I'm fading and it's all because of you
Can I buy you that moon up in the sky?

But it seems that you don't wanna play
And I'm tired, yeah I'm tried of asking why
World, I guess you ain't my friend
I could get laid in a thousand ways
But I still would be singin' the blues
But I'm drowning and it's all because of you
World, world, world, world, you ain't nobody's friend
I could get paid for a thousand days
But I still would be wearing those shoes
I could get laid in a thousand ways

Yeah, I'm drowning and it's all because of you
Yeah, I'm drowning and it's all because of you

It perfectly encapsulates when I meet my soon to be ex-wife for a platonic meeting to discuss those things you have to discuss at these times. She has no idea she will always be the only one for me and that her calling time on things has sent me into despair and self loathing for letting things get to that place after 18 years together. I want to scream at the sky to make what I feel go away, but I also know I will never heal from this as long as I live. Despite the inner turmoil and confusion I'm experiencing, I have to fake that I'm doing okay so I don't give her any more power over me. I have unfinished business with her so I have to keep in her orbit which only makes things worse. This is a song of un-returned devotion and fear of the future.
