Not Waving, But Drowning

Everybody loves me
When I’m not around
And I am so beautiful, when the lights goes down
Everything about me can be summed up
In a single letter
People stop and tell me
I’ll never get better
One day you will realise
That time is an ocean
I’m not waving I’m drowing
Caught up in a swirling motion
I do just the right thing, at exactly the wrong time
When I know there’s no hope, I’ll tell you everything will be fine
I truly believe that you and me were made for each other
So remind me to use that line on my next lover
I’ve perfected the art of dying without showing emotion
That’s not me waving, I’m drowning
Caught up in swirling motion
