Watching You Drown

It's been hard watching you drown. You do it so quietly - I never heard a sound. I reach out my arm for you to grab - c'mon, grab it...I dive in to find you, but you just keep going down, down. Something gripped you from below. Taken in by the undertow. In the depths of dark water, I wait for you to float, stir. Tell me it's all a terrible mistake, arrive towards light through the water's blur. I see my face in the rear-view mirror. I don't recognize it anymore. All my prayers must have been answered. I don't recognize it anymore. I see my face driving away from you. I made a grand plan. Wrote it on a piece of paper. I got you your prescription from the doctor. You said don't push me; just lay it on the table. And when I had to leave, I became another person in this world you would blame. I see my face in the rear-view mirror. I don't recognize it anymore. All my prayers must have been answered. I don't recognize it anymore. I see my face as I drive away from you. I see my face driving away. It's been hard watching you drown...
