David Arlo - Rivers

You say you're leaving me tonight for somebody else
You say you don't love me, I'll be good by myself
You said it one too many times, but this time is real

Oh love, this water's wide and deeper than sin

So hear me now
Why do I feel so alone?
You left me drowning

So I'll cough up, cough up water
Fill up my lungs with air
You've been holding me down, you've been holding me under, yeah
So I'll cough up, cough up water
Wring out the pain I wear
You've been holding me down, you've been holding me under, yeah
The rivers dry up in the end

So you wanna be a good girl for somebody else
I'm gonna be man enough to fend for myself
We crossed one too many lines and look where we are
Oh Lord I'm losing faith, I'm losing heart

So hear me now
Why do I feel so alone?
You left me drowning

So I'll cough up, cough up water
Fill up my lungs with air
You've been holding me down, you've been holding me under, yeah
So I'll cough up, cough up water
Wring out the pain I wear
You've been holding me down, you've been holding me under, yeah
The rivers dry up in the end

The rivers dry up in the end
Treading the water again
The rivers dry up in the end
Ah yeah
The rivers dry up in the end
Treading the water again
The rivers dry up in the end
The rivers dry up in the end

(Fill up my lungs with air
You've been holding me down, you've been holding me under, yeah)
So I'll cough up, cough up water
Fill up my lungs with air
(You've been holding me down, you've been holding me under, yeah)

So I'll cough up, cough up water
Fill up my lungs with air, (Fill it up)
You've been holding me down, you've been holding me under, yeah
(Been holding me down)
So I'll cough up, cough up water, (Cough it up)
Wring out the pain I wear, (Wring it out)
You've been holding me down, you've been holding me under, yeah
The rivers dry up in the end
