Please don't try to change me This is who I am Pretty far from perfect But doing what I can All you seem to say Is you don't understand On the night we met You told me I was more Than anybody else You'd ever seen before Now, all that you're doing's Closing all the doors To everything we had before Baby, can't you see that you are
Drowning me, you're drowning me You're pushing my head under the deep, blue sea You're drowning me, you're drowning me Is there somebody else that you need to see? You're drowning me, you're drowning me I can't be anybody else but who I Am (Oh, oh)
First, you steal my heart Then, you steal my space You criticize my friends My clothes, my hair and face But you'll find I'm not So easily replaced It's such a sorry waste Baby, can't you see that you are
Drowning me, you're drowning me You're pushing me down in the deep, blue sea You're drowning me, you're drowning me The way I'll survive is to break me free You're drowning me, you're drowning me I can't be anybody else but me
I suffered in silence (making no sound) Emotional violence (wearing me down) You can't mess me up if (baby, I'm not) around
Darling, can't you see in that you're
Drowning me, you're drowning me You're pushing me down in the deep, blue sea You're drowning me, you're drowning me So much for all your talk about maturity You're drowning me, you're drowning me I'm sick and tired of all your insecurities You're drowning me, you're drowning me I won't be anybody else but who I Am (Oh, oh) But who I am (Oh, oh)
