Let Me Drown

If I was half a woman 

I’d swim into the tide 

Let myself drift away, 

a ghost in your life. 

 

But now you’ve got my hand

as the current pulls me 

Further from the land 

And I can see you’re slipping 

I can see you’re falling in. 

Don’t pull me back 

Don’t pull me back

Don’t pull me back 

Just walk away 

Don’t pull me back 

Don’t pull me back 

Don’t pull me back 

Just let me drown. 

If I was half a woman, 

I’d embrace the waves 

Let them drag me 

To the ocean floor 

And sweep me away. 

The demons in my past 

they scratch the 

flesh off my back 

As you, you grip my hand

And I know this raft can’t 

withstand their cries. 

Don’t pull me back 

Don’t pull me back

Don’t pull me back 

Just walk away 

Don’t pull me back 

Don’t pull me back 

Don’t pull me back 

Just let me drown. 

If I was half a woman, I’d swim into the tide.
