written in the water

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
