Counting days, counting days Since my love up and got lost on me And every breath that I've been takin' Since you left feels like a waste on me I've been holding on to hope That you'll come back when you can find some peace 'Cause every word that I've heard spoken Since you left, feels like a hollow street I've been told, I've been told to get you off my mind But I hope I never lose the bruises that you left behind Oh my lord, oh my lord, I need you by my side There must be something in the water 'Cause everyday it's getting colder And if only I could hold ya You'd keep my head from going under Maybe I, maybe I'm just being blinded By the brighter side Of what we had because it's over Well, there must be something in the tide I've been told, I've been told to get you off my mind But I hope I never lose the bruises that you left behind Oh my lord, oh my lord, I need you by my side There must be something in the water 'Cause everyday it's getting colder And if only I could hold you You'd keep my head from going under Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Your love I'm lost in It's your love I'm lost in Your love I'm lost in And I'm tired of being so exhausted It's your love I'm lost in Your love I'm lost in It's your love I'm lost in Even though I'm nothing to you now Even though I'm nothing to you now There must be something in the water 'Cause everyday it's getting colder And if only I could hold you You'd keep my head from going under There must be something in the water 'Cause everyday it's getting colder And if only I could hold you You'd keep my head from going under
