I held you tight, as if it would not last The night — with no light — it wouldn't seem to pass My words, empty like my promises I cursed you I was trying to let you know that I could never let you go I just tried to hold you close, to feel your heart beat in my throat Now it seems I've lost control, but from what I do not know You go down, down, down, down, down To the deep blue I hoped that you would float up to the surface But you sunk like a stone down through the ocean Just like a knife cutting through my soul I lost my grip and with it my control I was trying to let you know that I could never let you go I just tried to hold you close, to feel your heart beat in my throat Now it seems I've lost control, but from what I do not know You go down, down, down, down, down You go down, down, down, down, down Go grab yourself a cigarette And smoke it till that ash burns red It comes back to you — we've gone full circle And yes it's true I still yearn for you And my hands are stained from the blood of this slaughter And you are gone in the depths of the water I was trying to let you know that I could never let you go I just tried to hold you close, to feel your heart beat in my throat Now it seems I've lost control, but from what I do not know You go down, down, down, down, down To the deep blue To the deep blue
