I was lucky for a long, long time I never felt much pain
A mess of clouds came over me The night it finally rained.
In my hand there's a silver heart It says you belong to me
But it's empty and used up I'm sailing off to sea

Going down, going down Swallow an ocean
Going down, going down With true devotion

When the rain started coming down It was so hard to see
Swear I lost you in the crowd When you were right there with me
People scattering everywhere Trying to make it back home
And I slipped and fell on my ass I'm going down alone

Going down, going down Swallow an ocean
Going down, going down With true devotion

All I see is icy blue And I don't feel the waves
It doesn't matter anyhow I know I won't be saved
Before you go to sleep tonight Say a prayer for me, yeah
And all the other wasted souls Drowning definitely

Going down, going down Swallow an ocean
Going down, going down With true devotion
