This ship is going down and I suggest that you don't get too close
You'll suffer with me as I break into pieces
Those dreams are already dashed upon the rocks that lie in wait below
And what you think you see, well it's all on the surface//

You'll swear that all it takes is a call for help and a white flag
Or a flare to the sky, a desperate cry, we'll be out of here in no time//

But darling some of us, we can't be saved, we can't be saved
We're destined to be tossed among the waves and there we'll stay
Just singing the song of a siren, I'm so sorry you followed it here
So take what you can and make it to land, and far, far away
'Cause some of us just can't be saved//

It's lonely on the sea but every once in a while comes someone
Who tries and tries to put the anchor down
But soon they will find that every time there's a reason I'm still drifting
And I'll be right here until I drown//

They say if you look close enough at the bottom
You might see just a little piece of what you thought was love
