Rebecca Lappa - Deep Water Lyrics

I jumped off this sinking ship
Praying that I could make it
But just like a jagged reef
He ripped the bottom from my heart
Though I found hope to cling to
Memories wash over me like glue
And when I clench my teeth
It takes me back to the start

No he won't hurt me again but my minds not listening
No it won't, and I'm in

Deep water
Deep deep water
Can't swim no farther
Currents pulling me under
I'm stronger
But I can't fight much longer
My heart is frozen over
In these deep waters

I smile and no one knows
Even when their numbers grow
Those fins start circling round
I watch them closing in
Try not to feel ashamed
But I always lose this game
Their gnawing at my core
And I finally give in

Shampoo's going down the drain but it will not reach my brain
Like a stain

Deep water
Deep deep water
Can't swim no farther
Currents pulling me under
I'm stronger
But I can't fight much longer
My heart is frozen over
In these deep waters

He held me down below the surface
Where the water filled my lungs and I would suffocate
But I learned to embrace the struggle
Fighting off the monster I escaped

And just like Deep water
Deep deep water
I'll carve my own wave
There's nothing I can't conquer
In deep water
Deep deep water
Don't need no harbor
The currents pulling me onward
I'm stronger and I will fight longer
I don't fear the monster
In these deep waters
