i was born by the devil
i was left here to die
i was held up for ransom under cold summer skies
i was told not to love him
i was told not to try
i was lonely the only 'till he said he'd be mine
he will leave me for younger
he will leave me to cry
cut the knife a little deeper
count the days i survive
yeah
it's written in the water
yeah
it's everywhere i go
tellin' me that i should leave you like i did two times before
i'd be fine if i met you
and you'd still have had to roam
give me one kiss for the road
now it's time i let you go
i will run to the river
i will reach for the well
drown my sorrows in someone
and i hope i leave this hell
i can't live for forgiveness
i can't live with the lie
i won't be what you wanted
no i won't be what you'd like
yeah
it's written in the water
yeah
it's everywhere i go
tellin' me that i should leave you like i did two times before
i'd be fine if i met you
and you'd still have had to roam
give me one kiss for the road
now it's time i let you go. yeah
it's written in the water
yeah
it's everywhere i go
tellin' me that i should leave you like i did two times before
i'd be fine if i met you
and you'd still have had to roam
give me one kiss for the road
now it's time i let you go
yeah
it's written in the water
yeah
it's everywhere i go
tellin' me that i should leave you like i did two times before
i define if i meant to
when you still have had your own
give me one kiss for the road boy
now it's time i let you go
