I'm drowning not waving (3x)   This aint stupid girl talk   So don't try to tell me so      I don't want to be rejected   cause i let my feelings show   I'm just trying to reach you   cause i'm in need of your vow      Time won't be an answer   Let's talk about it here and now   Just try to be open hearted   We'll figure this out somehow      I'm just trying to reach you   cause i'm in over my head      (chorus)   I'm drowningnot waving (2x)   Not bending i am breaking   It's an easy mistake to make   I'm crying not laughing   I'm falling not faking   I'm drowning not just waving   Won't you be my life guard      This aint stupid girl talk   So don't try to shrug it off   You can't just hold back the changes   Nothing stays the way it was      What i feel is an ocean   and i'm in over my head      (chorus)      I see another version of me   Whose only a day away   Stronger, alittle wiser i guess   Someone who feels okay      But right now i'm drowning not waving   I'm falling not faking   I'm drowning not just waving   Won't you be my life guard      (chorus)      Drowning not waving   I'm falling not faking   I'm drowning not just waving   Won't you be my life guard      ohhh      I'm drowning not just waving   It's an easy mistake to make   No more stupid girl talk   It's an easy mistake to make   So don't try to tell me so   I'm drowning not just waving   Won't you be my life guard
