head under water

to breathe easy for a while

breathing gets harder

even I know that

my heavy heart
Bm D
sings deep down under you
Em G
and your twisted words

your help just hurts

convinced me to please you

'cause you asked for it

if all you have is leavin' Im'a need a better reason
G A
to write you a love song today

I'm not gonna write you a love song
A D
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
G
if you're on your way

I don't want it for a minute
Bm
babe I'll walk the seven seas
