Tied up in chains, your curse round my neck
It's been about two days since I have slept
Oh, you broke a vow the day that you left
A promise is something that should be kept
Reopen the wound, allow it to fester
I feel like a fool, some modern day jester
Go on and find that somebody better
Go get her, you go getter
Threw out all your shit and I changed the locks
Sold your diamond ring and the clothes you bought
Fuck around with me and the tables turn
Don't forget the bridge that you just burned
When the flood comes, I'm gonna let you drown
When the river runs, you'll be floating down
Dead in the water
Dead in the water
Shoulda known better, baby, sink or swim
Shoulda loved me harder when you could back then
Now you're dead in the water
Dead in the water
Say that you miss me, beg me to trust you
Words that mean nothing, after what I've been through
Fingers are pruney, face turning blue
Lie so easily, I know it isn't true
Threw out all your shit and I changed the locks
Sold your diamond ring and the clothes you bought
Fuck around with me and the tables turn
Don't forget the bridge that you just burned
When the flood comes, I'm gonna let you drown
When the river runs, you'll be floating down
Dead in the water
Dead in the water
Shoulda known better, baby, sink or swim
Shoulda loved me harder when you could back then
Now you're dead in the water
Dead in the water
Your kiss is a ghost, your memory it haunts me
(Dead in the water)
Coming back to life every time that you're lonely
(Dead in the water)
Fuck getting better, I want to get even
(Dead in the water)
Hold you under the surface, and tell you to breathe in
(Dead in the water)
When the flood comes, I'm gonna let you drown
When the river runs, you'll be floating down
Dead in the water
Dead in the water
Shoulda known better, baby, sink or swim
Shoulda loved me harder when you could back then
Now you're dead in the water
Dead in the water
Your kiss is a ghost, your memory it haunts me
(Dead in the water)
