All In The Water
Still Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want to live
A life of shame
I went all in
But lost the game
I wanna go where nobody knows my name
Go away baby
No I don't mean maybe
I've been thinking lately
We're all wrong
You just want to hurt me
And I don't wanna worry
You've got me in a hurry
To get gone
I don't want to be your lover
I don't want to be your man
I'm gonna get out of here as fast as I can
You're pullin' out your hair
'Cause you didn't think I would dare
But the days back when I cared
Are all gone
I drink a couple beer
And smoke my mind unclear
It's worse now then I feared
It's all wrong
I don't want to be your lover
I don't want to be your man
I'm gonna get out of here as fast as I can
Girls are nuts that's just the way it goes
Guys put up to take off their clothes
But I don't want to live
A life of shame
I went all in
But lost the game
I wanna go where nobody knows my name
Dually unfair I truly cared about you
And I'm scared now I don't know how without you
Even though I need to go for me
It's hard because my heart won't let it be
It must just have been beginner's luck
Somehow now our odds have run amuck
I can't play this game anymore
I'm down to the felt
At least that's how I felt
Why
Would I
Double down when I haven't won once yet
Hit me one more time and I'll bust
I can't lay my mind to rest on trust
Must our house of cards fold
It must
I don't want to live
A life of shame
I went all in




And lost the game
I wanna go where nobody knows my name

Walk with me
Take my hand
Oh, oh oh
Oh, oh oh
Oh, oh oh
Oh, oh oh
Oh, oh oh
Still water
Ah, ah, ah
Never you mind if I
Don't tell strangers passing by
If I don't brag
If I don't brag or boast
Click my glass and say a toast
About my love for you
How it runs so deep and true
And yet it's so
'Cause don't you know, oh
Still waters run deep
Still waters run deep
Still waters run deep
Still waters run deep
