Drowning Not Waving

This ain't stupid girl talk So don't try and tell me so I don't want to be rejected Cos I let my feelings show I'm just trying to reach you Cos I'm in need of you now Time won't be an answer Let's talk about it here and now Just try to be openhearted We'll figure this out somehow I'm just trying to reach you Cos I'm in over my head CHORUS I'm drowning, not waving I'm drowning, not waving Not bending, I am breaking It's an easy mistake to make I'm crying, not laughing I'm falling, not faking I'm drowning not just waving Won't you be my lifeguard This ain't stupid girl talk So don't try and shrugg it off You can't just hold back the changes Nothing stays the way it was What I feel is an ocean And I'm in over my head CHORUS I'm drowning, not waving I'm drowning, not waving Not bending, I am breaking It's an easy mistake to make I'm crying, not laughing I'm falling, not faking I'm drowning not just waving Won't you be my lifeguard I see another version of me Who's only a day away Stronger, a little wiser I guess Someone who feels OK But right now I'm drowning, not waving I'm falling, not faking I'm drowning not just waving Won't you be lifeguard
