This ship is going down and I suggest that you don't get too close You'll suffer with me as I break into pieces Those dreams are already dashed upon the rocks that lie in wait below And what you think you see, well it's all on the surface You'll swear that all it takes is a call for help and a white flag Or a flare to the sky, a desperate cry, we'll be out of here in no time But darling some of us, we can't be saved, we can't be saved We're destined to be tossed among the waves and there we'll stay Just singing the song of a siren, I'm so sorry you followed it here So take what you can and make it to land, and far, far away 'Cause some of us just can't be saved. It's lonely on the sea but every once in a while comes someone Who tries and tries to put the anchor down But soon they will find that every time there's a reason I'm still drifting And I'll be right here until I drown. They say if you look close enough at the bottom You might see just a little piece of what you thought was love
