As i lay there in the dark of night,

I began to wonder,

For depression had taken me under.

Drowning, unable to breathe,

I even failed to see

How someone could love a girl like me.

Then you waltzed into my life.

You helped me pull myself together,

But then you left for someone better.

So as I lay her in the dark of night,

I wonder.

Who will save me from going under?
