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
