[Verse 1]
Moving like a snake into my embrace
Knowing the power you held over me
Chained me down to the ground
To the ground that I couldn't see

[Pre-Chorus]
One, two, three, too many times
You sunk me down into my demise
Did it with the words of your lies

[Chorus]
'Cause you were an anchor
Pulling me deep down to black water
Water hey ya
Water hey ya
'Cause you were an anchor
Pulling me deep down to black water
Water hey ya
Water hey ya

[Verse 2]
Said you made a mistake
And that you were ready, yeah
Ready, ready, yeah, ready
I let you swim in my
Pool of emotions and I
Drowned in the storm in your mind

[Pre-Chorus]
One, two, three, too many times
You sunk me down into my demise
Did it with the words of your lies

[Chorus]
'Cause you were an anchor
Pulling me deep down to black water
Water hey ya
Water hey ya
'Cause you were an anchor
Pulling me deep down to black water
Water hey ya
Water hey ya
[Verse 3]
Now you're no longer here
My waters are crystal clear
No you're not welcome here
I let you swim in my
Pool of emotions and I
Drowned in the storm in your mind

[Outro]
'Cause you were and anchor
Pulling me deep down to blackwater
Not anymore
I'm not yours
I'm not yours
