Let Her Drown

I sink myself saving the living, they are carelessly drowning at sea
All of them seem to learn how to swim only after they've drowned me
They don't care much about the small little body that's drifting down under their feet
So maybe I'll watch the waves crash and devour, I won't give a damn what I see

Cause I am no longer my father's daughter they say was full of empathy
She died in the water, clinging onto pieces of a life where she could be carefree
Instead I am building myself a new person up from the debris
I'll grow from the ruins of the girl who I used to be

So please let the body sink down, leave me with nothing but a soul
I cannot grow from my past if my past is still in control
Please let my memory drown, let the waves swallow it whole
I can still mourn my old life while letting the future unfold

And after the body is drowned maybe I will feel new
Like I am walking through fields still covered in morning dew
But mourning dew dried up after all she went through
Oh, just let me know how to kill her without killing all hope too

So please let the body sink down, leave me with nothing but a soul
I cannot grow from my past if my past is still in control
Please let my memory drown, let the waves swallow it whole
I can still mourn my old life while letting the future unfold

So please let the body sink down, leave me with nothing but a soul
I cannot grow from my past if my past is still in control
Please let my memory drown, let the waves swallow it whole
I can still mourn my old life while letting the future unfold
