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

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

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.

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

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 define if I meant to
When you still have had your own

Give me one kiss for the road boy
Now it's time I let you go
