"Under The Water" lyrics - THE PRETTY RECKLESS

Lay my head under the water
Lay my head under the sea
Excuse me, sir, am I your daughter?
Won't you take me back, take me back and see?

There's not a time for being younger...
And all my friends are enemies
And if I cried unto my mother
No, she wasn't there, she wasn't there for me

Don't let the water drag you down
(Don't let the water drag you down)
Don't let the water drag you down

Broken lines across my mirror
Show my face, all red and bruised
And though I screamed and I screamed
Well, no one came running
No, I wasn't saved, I wasn't safe from you

Don't let the water drag you down
(Don't let the water drag you down)
Don't let the water drag you down

Don't let me drown, don't let me drown in the waves
I could be found, I could be what you had saved
Saved, saved, saved...

[Musical break]

Lay my head under the water
Aloud, I pray for calmer seas
And when I wake from this dream with chains all around me
No, I've never been, I've never been free
No, I've never been, I've never been free
No, I've never been, I've never been free
