[Verse 1]
And all of my heart is broken but the salt of my wounds
Will never follow you around, I won't ever make a sound
And taking every step in fear, if only you could hold me close
This time I think I'm bound to stay alone

[Verse 2]
And last night was the first time, we inched close to cyanide
Our blood red as beetroots, and I can show you
The skies they felt orange, they held me in solace
Just whisper my name, I'll never let you go

[Verse 3]
Baby, can you hold me close, please
And tell me all your stories, so I can sleep in peace?
Baby, can you whisper my name?
I could never swim in sorrows, but tomorrow always follows
So, I'll tie up my lips for you, babe

[Verse 4]
Silently we break our keys, see
Can we open doors?
Shyly find me, wind me, kindly
Kiss me as I drown

[Refrain]
As I drown, as I drown, as I drown, as I drown
As I drown, as I drown, as I drown, as I drown
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
And if only your love could hold me
If your arms would just enfold me
I would tie up my lungs for you, babe

[Refrain]
As I drown, as I drown, as I drown, as I drown
As I drown, as I drown, as I drown, as I drown
