Under Water

I am down and out
It didn't use to be this way
Ever since I lost my job
I feel my life's been in decay
On the outside looking in
At a world that's looking less like home each day

I just have to say
This is not the way I came to play
And if this is the way, can I play another day
I've been fighting on my own all alone and far away from home
I'm on my knees and under water
I'm under water

I had a job that paid my bills
I had a place, I had security
Some might say that wasn't much
But it meant something real to me
But nothing good will ever last
In the end, it was all taken from me

I'm asking myself why
Why did I get my hopes up high
If this is the way to go, here's a thing I need to know
How can it be okay to use me up and throw me all away
I'm on my knees and under water
I'm under water

I'm on my knees and under water
I'm under water

I just have to say
This is not the game I came to play
Dreaming of a time when reason had a rhyme
A life I could sustain - now I'm standing outside in the rain
I'm on my knees and under water
I'm under water

I'm on my knees and under water
I'm under water
