Lyrics (Start at 0:07):

I didn’t know how deep it all must have been
Her greatest talent, she could keep it all in
Whatever bothered her, I had no idea
Or how big of a deal, or her lengths to conceal just how bad

We’d go to parties and we’d laugh with our friends
We’d have some drinks and that would help her pretend
It all was going great, no problem at all
She’s the belle of the ball and she does have it all, have it all

Drowned in a sea of tears
Almost saved her, I was so very near
Drowned in a sea of tears
Though I tried, I couldn’t ease all her fears

But then she seemed a little down, little out
I asked her what was wrong, it always works out
That’s what she told me, but it didn’t work out
Wish I had helped her out, but I didn’t know how, even now

Drowned in a sea of tears
Almost saved her, I was so very near
Drowned in a sea of tears
Though I tried, I couldn’t ease all her fears
Drowned in a sea of tears
Drowned in a sea of tears

We were ecstatic even though it would rain
We were so frantic as we biked around Spain
Were we romantic or just out for good times?
Two of a kind
Now I can see I was blind

Drowned in a sea of tears
Almost saved her, I was so very near
Drowned in a sea of tears
Though I tried, I couldn’t ease all her fears
Drowned in a sea of tears
Drowned in a sea of tears
