Don't believe what you read in them books, Nothing is as simple as it really looks
And I know your heart's been burglarized by crooks, leaves on the ground from your branchs looks like they've been shook

To get special things, from special people, special acts may be required
If you leave the stove unattended, you maybe the one who's gulity of starting the fire

If you're looking for that one thing that you think can fulfill your desires
You might find out after receiving the good stuff, that it might pushed you in the arms of a liar

Chorus
I feel like I am going down, And a real friend wouldn't cut and run, they would hang around
And you never showed me anything you didn't want me to see
And that's why I'm trying so hard to be all that I can be

And I'm at the point where my knees are on the ground
And if I'm going under I hope that I'm not hard to be found

And I hear the thunder and I'm scared of the sound
And it makes me wonder will I reach the shore before I drown

And I put myself in this situation, and I can't blame no one else
for my participation

And I feel like I've been living up on cloud nine
And somebody's been playing tricks with me and my mind

I'm in over my head and I need someone to help me out
And the one I trusted left me here for dead, and full of doubt

And the water is colder than it ususally is and now
Give me directions to start over and show me how

Chorus
I feel like I am going down, And a real friend wouldn't cut and run, they would hang around

And I hear the thunder and I'm scared of the sound
And it makes me wonder will I reach the shore before I drown
