[Chris]
Oh oh whoa
You say I'm not giving enough
But baby girl I'm trying so hard to
Keep up when your fear
There I'm always leave you lonely
But you see that I want us to last forever
And my heart stays open
Darling, you know it will get better
But you know that shit won?t happen over night
We just gotta give love a try
When you look beside you girl I'll be there
[Refrão]
When it rains down your face tell me where do the tears end up
Don't wanna drown in a river as you sorrow
Ah, I'll swim a thousand a miles
Just for one minute to see your smile
I'm treading water, treading water
Please don't cry cause you're drowning me
What do you say? What do you mean?
That you blame me
Why is it today, that you doubted me
There I'm always leave you lonely
But you see that I want us to last forever
And my heart stays open
Darling, you know it will get better
But you know that shit won?t happen over night
We just gotta give love a try
When you look beside you girl I'll be there
[Refrão]
When it rains down your face tell me where do the tears end up
Don't wanna drown in a river as you sorrow
Ah, I'll swim a thousand a miles
Just for one minute to see your smile
I'm treading water, treading water
Please don't cry cause you're drowning me
Oh, oh, whoaa
Oh, oh, whoaa
