When I Knew You

from Life On A Seesaw by Montgomery Drive

lyrics

i am the empty shell. stuck outside your doorway, hearing every word you dare say. and i've had about enough drinks to last a lifetime but its just not enough. so well pour some more rounds, and ill drink myself into the ground. and as i start to choke, as the water fills up my throat. i know, i am. dying down here at the bottom of this ocean watching you as you sit up above me and say its getting colder and i'm getting older, i couldn't wait here forever for you, your not who you were when. when i knew you. you wouldn't let, some apparition from your past convince that the fears you harbor only help make up your past. cause when your alone, deep down you know im on my own, all alone. and it shows how much i've grown bitter and cold. dying down here at the bottom of this ocean watching you laughing and dancing around me as you sing "yeah it got colder, and i got older, i couldn't wait here forever for you." your not who you were when. when you decide to come up for some air, i think you'll find that there's no one there. and you'll just die in that trench where i left you drowning.
