come up from the water

I asked you what could ease the pain
You said "no drugs"
And wrapped me in a hug
Then I put pills into you mouth
And shoved them down your throat with my tongue
I'm helping you get through, I am
It will get better, it will
But if you don't listen
Things will get back again
Come up from the water
I'll kiss you slow this time
I hate you when you disobey
And you know I get violent
So please listen
It's okay, just listen
"I love you"
"You too"
