I was born by the devil
I was left here to die
I was held up for ransom under cold summer skies
I was told not to love him
I was told not to try
I was lonely the only 'till he said he'd be mine
He will leave me for younger
He will leave me to cry
Cut the knife a little deeper
Count the days I survive
[Chorus:]
Yeah, it's written in the water
Yeah, it's everywhere I go
Tellin' me that I should leave you like I did two times before
I'd be fine if I met you
And you'd still have had to roam
Give me one kiss for the road
Now it's time I let you go
I will run to the river
I will reach for the well
Drown my sorrows in someone
And I hope I leave this hell
I can't live for forgiveness
I can't live with the lie
I won't be what you wanted
No I won't be what you'd like
[Chorus: 3x]
Yeah, it's written in the water
Yeah, it's everywhere I go
Tellin' me that I should leave you like I did two times before
I'd be fine if I met you
And you'd still have had to roam
Give me one kiss for the road,
Now it's time I let you go
