Not Waving But Drowning -High Contrast Everybody loves me when I'm not around And I am so beautiful when the lights goes down Everything about me can be summed up in a single letter People stop and tell me I'll never get better One day you will realize that time is an ocean I'm not waving I'm drowning Caught up in swirling motion I do just the right thing at exactly the wrong time When I know there's no hope I'll tell you everything will be fine I truly believe that you and me were made for each other So remind me to use that line on my next lover I've perfected the art of dying without showing emotion That's not me waving I'm drowning Caught up in swirling motion
