[Verse 1]
I woke up crying with chains on my feet (Chains on my feet)
You were smiling with joy, knowing I couldn't reach (Couldn't reach, couldn't reach, couldn't reach)
I called your name, really needed your help (Needed your help)
You were hung in a corner, laughing by yourself (By yourself, by yourself, by yourself)

[Pre-Chorus]
I crawled on my knees (I crawled on my knees)
So afraid of the darkness (So afraid of the darkness, the darkness)
I called out in vain
As your name rang out with laughter (Laughter, laughter, laughter)

[Chorus]
Oh, girl, I was lost in this pool of red (Red)
Can't get outside of my head (Red)
Lost, I'm in a pool of red (Red)
Girl, I'm dying and I ain't dead (Red)

[Verse 2]
Oh, ran to the window, my mind was strung out (Mind was strung out)
But at twelve storeys high, I was afraid I'd fall out (I'd fall out, I'd fall out, I'd fall out)
Tore at the wall, I started losing my grip (Losing my grip)
In a room full of friends, I was alone on this trip (On this trip, on this trip, on this trip)

[Pre-Chorus]
I begged and I prayed (I begged and I prayed)
That my sins be forgiven (That my sins be forgiven)
As I slipped up a prayer
To our fathers in the heavens (Heavens, heavens, heavens)
[Chorus]
Oh, girl, I was lost in a pool of red (Red)
Can't get outside of my head (Red)
I'm lost, lost in a pool of red (Red)
Darling, without being dead (Red)

[Bridge]
Help, help me
Oh, help me, help me (The ceiling's my glove [?])
(Aaah
Aaaaah
Aah)
Help me, somebody
Please help me

[Verse 3]
Oh, my nightmares are over and the rivers turned pink (Rivers turned pink)
On a cloud full of joy I'm floatin' weightlessly (Yes, I think, yes, I think, yes, I think)
You touched my hand and ended my fears (Ended my fears)
And I'll thank you, thank you, thank you for the rest of my years (Of my years, of my years, of my years)

[Pre-Chorus]
You saw and you came (You saw and you came)
And you helped me with my suffering (You helped me with my suffering)
You can do what you do
And get me your sweet loving (Loving, loving, loving)
[Chorus]
Oh, girl, I was surely, surely lost in a pool of red (Red)
Until you touched my hand (Red)
And thank you, thank you, baby (Lost in a pool of red) (Red)
'Cause you helped me with my sufferin' (Lost in a pool of red) (Red)
I was lost in this pool of red (Red)

[Outro]
Girl, you touched my hand and I'll always thank you, baby
(Lost in a pool of red) (Red)
I was empty with my sufferin' and you showed me the way
(Lost in a pool of red) (Red)
I was goin' out of my head until you touched my hand
(Lost in a pool of red) (Red)
Showed me the way, and you helped me with my sufferin'
Thank you, girl, I was
Thank you, thank you, thank you, 'cause I
