[Verse 1]

I turn up my speakers

So I can drown my thoughts just a little bit quicker

Dancing barefoot in the dead of winter

So I can numb this heart that's full of splinters

They say time heals

All wounds, but these clocks are at a standstill

And I'm counting every second that you're not here

But only in my dreams do you appear

[Pre-Chorus]

Am I allowed to lay down my smile

And be bitter just for a while?

[Chorus]

Don't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat

I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow

Could you try to take a look into my eyes?

And tell me why, oh, why, why, why?

Why, oh, why, why, why?

Why, oh, why?

[Verse 2]

I close all the windows

Draw the curtains hoping that the sun knows

All I see is you when the day glows

Reminding me that you are just a shadow

When I wake

For a split second in time, my heart does not ache

Thinking you'll be next to me, then I shake

To see an empty bed and all over, I break

[Pre-Chorus]

Am I allowed to lay down my smile

And be bitter just for a while?

[Chorus]

Don't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat

I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow

Could you try to take a look into my eyes?

And tell me why, oh, why, why, why?

[Bridge]

I should have known when you were grinding your teeth

(I should have known)

That you were hiding your feelings from me (Oh)

Mm, I should have known when you were tossing in your sleep

(I should have known)

That you were hiding your feelings from me

[Chorus]

Don't pull me under, we were meant to stay afloat

I see the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow

Could you try to take a look into my eyes?

And tell me why, oh, why, why, why?

Don't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat (Stay afloat)

I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow

Could you try to take a look into my eyes?

And tell me why, oh, why, why, why?

Why, oh, why, why, why?

Why, oh, why, why, why?

Why, oh, why, why, why?

Why, oh, why, why, why?
