Drowning
Drowning - Backstreet Boys Lyrics

Don't pretend you're sorry
Even though you're pretending to be apologetic, I know deep down that you're not.

I know you're not
I can sense that you're not sorry about what you did to me.

You know you got the power
You're aware of how much power you have over me.

To make me weak inside
Your actions have the ability to make me feel vulnerable and powerless.

And girl you leave me breathless
You have a profound effect on me that leaves me speechless.

But it's okay
Despite the intensity of my emotions, I'm still okay with it.

'Cause you are my survival
You're the reason why I keep going, my source of strength.

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

I can't imagine life without your love
Without your love, my existence seems incomprehensible.

And even forever don't seem like long enough
Our time together still feels too short, even if it lasts for eternity.

'Cause every time I breathe I take you in
You're a vital part of me, as I inhale your essence with every breath I take.

And my heart beats again
Your love reawakens my heart and makes it beat stronger than ever.

Baby, I can't help it
I have no control over what you make me feel.

You keep me drowning in your love
Your love is so intense that I'm immersed in it and unable to break free.

And every time I try to rise above
Whenever I attempt to move on from you, I fail miserably.

I'm swept away by love
The power of your love is so overwhelming that it sweeps me off my feet.

Maybe I'm a drifter
Perhaps I'm a wanderer who's yet to find his place in the world.

Maybe not, huh
Or perhaps not, who knows?

'Cause I have known the safety
Because I found refuge, security and comfort.

Of floating freely in your arms
The feeling of being embraced by you, the sensation of your arms around me; it's pure bliss.

And I don't need another lifeline
I don't require any other form of support or assistance, as long as you're here.

It's not for me
I don't need it, nor do I want it.

'Cause only you can save me
You're the only one who has the power to rescue me from my troubles and worries.

Oh, can't you see?
Don't you realize this?

Go on pull me under
Cause me to sink deeper into the depths of your love.

Cover me with dreams, yeah
Envelop me in fantasies and reveries.

Love me mouth to mouth now
Express your love to me passionately and intimately.

You know I can't resist
I'm incapable of resisting your allure.

'Cause you're the air that I breathe
You're as essential to me as the air I breathe.

Got me drowning
You have me submerged in your love.

Keep me drowning in your love
Don't let me escape from your love, keep me immersed in it.
