I opened up and sorrow came down
I'm learning unrequited love should not be found
She lifts me up, she tears me down
She doesn't mean to but she holds me
Controls me
I've been underwater so long
I've been, I've been underwater
I'm lookin' for a hand to hold on
I'm reaching, she don't see me
I feel like the moment's already gone
If she was in love, would have said it by now
I can write her poems, that ain't what she wants
I'll never be enough so I let it ride out like
Ooh hoo-ooh, ooh hoo-ooh
Ooh hoo-ooh hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (mm)
Ooh hoo-ooh, ooh hoo-ooh
Ooh hoo-ooh hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh
My soul stood up and stared me down
Said, "I have walked you down this road and I am proud
To lift you up, to tear you down
But there's a person that you must be, just trust me"
I've been underwater so long
I've been, I've been underwater
I'm lookin' for a hand to hold on
I'm reaching, she don't see me
I feel like the moment's already gone
If she was in love, would have said it by now
I can write her poems, that ain't what she wants
I'll never be enough so I let it ride out like
Ooh hoo-ooh, ooh hoo-ooh
Ooh hoo-ooh hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (mm)
Ooh hoo-ooh, ooh hoo-ooh
Ooh hoo-ooh hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh
I'll tell ya how I see her
Tell ya how I need her
Her voice is like a song that I can never get out
But my heart is unrequited
So I'll be forced to hide it
Music made in love that can never make a sound
