Drowning
后街男孩(Backstreet Boys) Lyrics

Don't pretend you're sorry
I know you're not actually sorry and you shouldn't fake it.

I know you're not
I am aware that you don't regret your actions.

You know you got the power
You recognize the control you have over me and how you can affect me.

To make me weak inside
You have the ability to make me feel vulnerable.

Girl you leave me breathless
You make me feel overwhelmed and speechless with your actions or words.

But it's okay 'cause
Even though you affect me that way, I am okay with it.

You are my survival
You are what makes my life worth living, and I depend on you in many ways.

Now hear me say
Listen to what I'm about to express.

I can't imagine life
My life would not be complete without your presence.

Without your love
Without the love you give me, I would not feel complete.

Even forever don't seem
Even an infinite amount of time wouldn't be enough for me to love you.

Like long enough
It doesn't seem like a sufficient amount of time to love you.

'Cause everytime I breathe
I take in your essence and you become a necessary part of my existence.

And my heart beats again
Your love gives me reason to feel alive and happy again.

Baby I can't help it
I can't control my feelings for you.

You keep me
Your love has a firm hold on me.

Drowning in your love
Your love consumes me and I can't help it.

Everytime I try to rise above
When I attempt to resist your love and move on, I end up getting lost in it.

I'm swept away by love
I'm overwhelmed and taken in by the strength of your love.

Maybe I'm a drifter
I might be a wanderer or someone who has trouble sticking to one thing/idea.

But maybe not
But it's possible that I'm not like that.

'Cause I have longed the safety
I've yearned for the security and protection I feel in your company.

Of running freely
I want to be able to move and act freely, without any restrictions.

In your arms
While still being embraced by your love.

And I don't need another life line
I don't require any other assistance or support, since you're enough for me.

It's not for me
Other sources of help aren't necessary as long as you're there for me.

'Cause only you can save me
I believe that your love is what can rescue me from any situation

Oh can't you see
Can't you understand my feelings and realize that you hold power over me?

Go on and pull me under
Allow yourself to take me so deeply into your love that I can't resist.

Cover me with dreams, yeah
Surround me with your fantasies and hopes for the future.

Love me mouth to mouth now
Show me your affection with a kiss or another intimate gesture.

You know I can't resist
I don't have the ability to reject your love, I'm drawn to it.

You're the air
You're essential for my existence like oxygen is essential for breathing.

I take you in
I allow you to be a part of me and enter my heart and soul.

Baby I can't help it (Brian: baby I can't help it)
I can't help but feel the way I do towards you, it's beyond my control.

Oh, got me drowning, keep me drowning in your love
Your love has a hold on me, it's as though I'm submerged in water and unable to come up for air.

Can't help it
I'm powerless to resist the effect that your love has on me.
