Saw you standing there in your raincoat.
Just what did you do to stay afloat?
Drinking to forget but always remembering.
You told me if I loved you now I'd have to let you know.

Just what did you do to stay afloat?
Drops of rain slipping down your face.
A confident smile.
I didn't want to wait for a new you to come 'round sundown.
Yet here you are.
Wiping the petals from my eyes this time.
The old you died ages ago.
You didn't stay afloat.
