Please don't try to change me
This is who I am
Pretty far from perfect
But doing what I can
All you seem to say
Is you don't understand
On the night we met
You told me I was more
Than anybody else
You'd ever seen before
Now, all that you're doing's
Closing all the doors
To everything we had before
Baby, can't you see that you are
Drowning me, you're drowning me
You're pushing my head under the deep, blue sea
You're drowning me, you're drowning me
Is there somebody else that you need to see?
You're drowning me, you're drowning me
I can't be anybody else but who I
Am (Oh, oh)
First, you steal my heart
Then, you steal my space
You criticize my friends
My clothes, my hair and face
But you'll find I'm not
So easily replaced
It's such a sorry waste
Baby, can't you see that you are
Drowning me, you're drowning me
You're pushing me down in the deep, blue sea
You're drowning me, you're drowning me
The way I'll survive is to break me free
You're drowning me, you're drowning me
I can't be anybody else but me
I suffered in silence (making no sound)
Emotional violence (wearing me down)
You can't mess me up if (baby, I'm not) around
Darling, can't you see in that you're
Drowning me, you're drowning me
You're pushing me down in the deep, blue sea
You're drowning me, you're drowning me
So much for all your talk about maturity
You're drowning me, you're drowning me
I'm sick and tired of all your insecurities
You're drowning me, you're drowning me
I won't be anybody else but who I
Am (Oh, oh)
But who I am (Oh, oh)
