I am drowning

Drowning in your thoughts

In your actions

You know it's bad

When someone else's thoughts

Affect your mind

You don't affect me in a good way

As someone should

You affect me to the point where I cannot breathe

I am drowning

You affect me to the point where

All of my surroundings

The sky above me

The love around me

Is completely black

I cannot see

I cannot breathe

I am drowning

You expect me to know everything

To do as you think is best

You are wrong

You are drowning me

You are pushing down my dreams

You are sucking the confidence out of me

You are burning out the light inside of me

You are taking my breath away

I am drowning

Soon it will be too late

I will give up on you

If you keep pushing me under water

If you keep holding me down

I will suffocate

I will lose

I will drown

You make me feel

The worst sort of pain

The worst sort of sorrow

Every minute

Of every day

I am drowning

And I can't fight anymore
