Don’t make me drown in my own sorrow
Please don’t take away my tomorrow
My heart can break make no mistake
My heart is real yours was fake
I’ve heard the phony phrase take a little give a little
I heard it every single day
In my mind waiting for the words to take wing
But with you there was no such thing
The only giving was to you from me
And I should've known better then to give you my all
I should’ve guessed you’d let me fall
Well now I’m falling deeper and deeper
Drowning in my own sorrow
