Underwater
Ballas Hough Band Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When your sky is falling down
And your green is turning brown
And you can't go any longer
When your friends are all away
And you lose track of the days
And you're not getting any stronger

I remember when you held me underwater

I can't help it, but it's something I don't wanna be a part of

[Chorus]
But my eyes cry gently, and I can't hide
You make feel so lost
So lost inside
And you don't get it, how hard I've tried
You make me feel so lost,
So lost inside

Well, that's how I'm feeling
Every midnight, every morning
And lately it's been starting to really get old
Oh, I miss you but believe me I won't be calling
After your last performance
It's really getting old

I remember how you held me underwater
Feeling helpless, and it's something I don't wanna be a part of

[Chorus]

Why do I always feel alone
When you're standing here by my side?
Why does it never feel like home?
Well, when I look in your eyes,
It's no surprise that this heart is never healing
I know I'll be fine
Said I know I'll be fine

I remember how you held me underwater
Feeling helpless, and it's something I don't wanna be a part of

[Chorus]

Line by Line Meaning

When your sky is falling down
When everything in your life is going wrong and you feel trapped

And your green is turning brown
When your once bright and promising future is fading away

And you can't go any longer
When you feel like you've reached your breaking point

When your friends are all away
When you're going through a tough time and feel like you have no one to turn to

And you lose track of the days
When time seems to blur together and you have no sense of direction

And you're not getting any stronger
When the hardships you're facing are only making you weaker

I remember when you held me underwater
I recall how you made me feel powerless and trapped

I can't help it, but it's something I don't wanna be a part of
I can't control the way you make me feel, but I don't want to continue feeling that way

But my eyes cry gently, and I can't hide
Despite my efforts to conceal my emotions, I can't help but cry softly

You make feel so lost
You make me feel disconnected from the world and unsure of myself

So lost inside
So caught up in my own thoughts and feelings that I can't see a way out

And you don't get it, how hard I've tried
You don't understand the effort I've put in to overcome my struggles

Well, that's how I'm feeling
This is the overwhelming emotion I'm currently experiencing

Every midnight, every morning
This emotion is with me constantly, day and night

And lately it's been starting to really get old
This struggle has been going on for too long and I'm exhausted

Oh, I miss you but believe me I won't be calling
Although I feel a sense of longing for you, I know that reaching out won't make things better

After your last performance
After the way you treated me last time we were together

It's really getting old
I'm tired of being treated this way and it needs to stop

Why do I always feel alone
Why am I constantly feeling isolated and unsupported?

When you're standing here by my side?
Especially when you're physically present, why do I still feel alone?

Why does it never feel like home?
Why can't I feel comfortable and safe, like I'm in a place I belong?

Well, when I look in your eyes, It's no surprise that this heart is never healing
When I see the way you treat me, it's no wonder that my heart is still broken and can't seem to recover

I know I'll be fine
Despite everything I'm going through, I believe that I will eventually be okay

Said I know I'll be fine
I'm repeating it to myself to convince myself that it's true
