Lyrics and translation
Original
Keep your head above the water. But I held you down instead.
Tried to blame it on the waves. But I was lying to myself.
Got so far, never thought we'd lose it.
Said it wouldn't hurt, but I put you through it. Night after night, again and again.
Now I look back and it all seems stupid.
One small crack will make the world stop moving. We fought the tides again and again.
We're gonna die today. You get up and fly away.
But I hope, I hope you know, you know that I tried. Keep your head above the water. But I held you down instead.
Tried to blame it on the waves. But I was lying to myself.
Yeah, my head's been underwater. I can't even help myself.
Tried to blame it on the waves for my mistakes. But that don't help me keep my head above water. Ooh, water.
Ooh, water.
Ooh, ooh.
Took my breath on a cold September. It's been so long, but I still remember.
I'm lying awake again and again.
Wish I could go back to those days. We used to drive up to that place.
But I hope, I hope you know, you know that I tried. To keep your head above the water.
But I held you down instead. Tried to blame it on the waves.
But I was lying to myself. Yeah, my head's been underwater. I can't even help myself.
Tried to blame it on the waves for my mistakes.
But that don't help me keep my head above water.
Ooh, water.
Ooh, water. Ooh. But that don't help me keep my head above water.
Ooh, water.
Ooh, water. Ooh. But that don't help me keep my head above water.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Keep your head above the water. But I held you down instead.
Tried to blame it on the waves. But I was lying to myself.
