Alaska Reid - Mermaid Tears Lyrics

I, I worked as a mermaid
The only man I tried to save dragged me down
Make those tips, keep those dreams
But I'm still gonna drown on the ugly side of town

Count the flies up high on the ceiling
You and I are trying to hold on to this stupid feeling
And I said baby, aren't you gonna play me
Maybe, time is gonna save me

He, he had a sad streak,
As wide as the gap between his two front teeth
And I, I never knew why
When I kept on swimming he just made me cry

Count the years that we've been dealing you and I are just junkies for this stupid feeling
And I said baby, aren't you gonna play me
Maybe, time is gonna save me
Maybe, time is gonna save me
Maybe, time is gonna save me
Maybe, time is gonna save me
Never look back, I never look back
