(Lyrics)
(verse)
My pockets always empty
But i wouldn't say I'm broke
The queen doesn't stay to long
The moneys not a problem
When your living on hope
But its money that I'm hoping on
I drink alot
but i haven't got a problem
at least i don't think i have
Boredom never comes
When drinks an option
Better to be drunk then sad
(chorus)
My heads just above the water
Its just a shame
The water isn't warmer
Im to blame
I hope it don't get colder
Just above
(verse)
My lover said she loves me
But her love is not enough
I guess I'm just feeling blue
Ten years together
Whats the point in giving up
Suppose this will have to do
Your not happy either
I can see it in your eyes
You don't wanna carry on
I cant live
In this web of lies
Ill be more happy gone
(chorus)
My heads just above the water
Its just a shame
The water isn't warmer
Im to blame
I hope it don't get colder
Just above
(solo)
(chorus)
My heads just above the water
Its just a shame
The water isn't warmer
Im to blame
I hope it don't get colder
Just above
