Water’s Getting Deep

2003 (6th Grade) 

Don’t tell me
I already know what you are thinking
You’re going to say it
The words
The hurtful ones
The ones I never want to hear

[Chorus:]
But I don’t want the water getting deep
I’m gasping between each word that you say
I need air, need to breathe
Need space, gotta leave

The water’s getting deep
Might as well leave
Need to breathe
On this little place I call Earth

[Chorus:]
But I don’t want the water getting deep
I’m gasping between each word that you say
I need air, need to breathe
Need space, gotta leave

Who do you think you are
Barging into my life
Then you’re gonna leave me miserable
Who do you think you are
You’re making the water deep
Might as well lay here forever, forever
Cause the water’s gotten deep

[Chorus 2:]
And I didn’t want the water getting deep
I was gasping between each word that you said
I needed air, needed to breathe
Needed space, so I left

I Feel Bad For Maddie

February 23rd, 2024

I once had a friend
But he made it something more
I was okay with that
I had feelings to explore

But he wasn’t who
I had believed him to be
Cause I found out the truth
Now I feel bad for Maddie

[Chorus:]
Maddie, Maddie
He never mentioned her
Maddie, Maddie
Don’t know how this occurred

I don’t know what to think
I thought he was my friend
Who moved on to another girl
I thought that was the end

But he’s a narcissist
I thought the problem was me
Except he had a girlfriend
And I feel bad for Maddie

[Chorus:]
Maddie, Maddie
He never mentioned her
Maddie, Maddie
Don’t know how this occurred

Here we go again
Another guy who lies
But I found out the truth
And now he can’t deny

How many girls were there
I know at one point three
I hope she knows the truth
Cause I feel bad for Maddie

[Chorus:]
Maddie, Maddie
He never mentioned her
Maddie, Maddie
Don’t know how this occurred

Maddie, Maddie
I swear I didn’t know
Maddie, Maddie
I hope you’ve let him go

Easy

November 14th, 2023

I had my life together
When you asked how I was doing
Why would you do this again
You make my life confusing

[Chorus 1:]
You know what you’re doing
What you’re putting me through
When you walked away
How was that easy for you?

I think I was happy
For eight months you were a ghost
But I still remember
When I wanted you the most

The history I share with you
Remembering the past
I thought I’d never see you again
The feelings my heart recast

[Chorus 1:]
You know what you’re doing
What you’re putting me through
When you walked away
How was that easy for you?

Telling me to look at you
Then all you did was smile
A new feeling of intimacy
I hadn’t felt in a while

I thought things were different
This cycle of insanity
But I will never be enough
To share your life of vanity

[Chorus 1:]
You know what you’re doing
What you’re putting me through
When you walked away
How was that easy for you?

I don’t want to love you
Now is it too late?
I need to address this
Your words hold a weight

Just say something, anything
Tell me to stay
Your silence is deafening
It’s not easy to walk away

[Chorus 2:]
You know what you did
What you put me through
But you don’t respond
How is this easy for you?
