Pretty Reckless, The - Under The Water Lyrics






Lay my head, under the water
Lay my head, under the sea
Excuse me sir, am I your daughter?
Won't you take me back, take me back and see?

There's not a time, for being younger
And all my friends, are enemies
And if I cried unto my mother
No she wasn't there, she wasn't there for me

Don't let the water drag you down (Don't let the water drag you down)
Don't let the water drag you down

Broken lines, across my mirror
Show my face, all red and bruised
And though I screamed and I screamed, well, no one came running
No I wasn't saved, I wasn't safe from you

Don't let the water drag you down (Don't let the water drag you down)
Don't let the water drag you down

Don't let me drown, don't let me drown in the waves, oh
I could be found, I could be what you had saved

Saved, saved, saved

[Musical Break]

Lay my head, under the water
Aloud I pray, for calmer seas
And when I wake from this dream, with chains all around me
No, I've never been, I've never been free

No, I've never been, I've never been free
No, I've never been, I've never been free

  1. M.... K....

    What a blue song... but a beautiful

  2. S.... M....

    I just can't stop listening to this song.
    So heart melting

  3. L.... X....

    All artists are in deep pain.

  4. P.... K....

    I could be wrong, but I believe it's "No, I wasn't safe, I wasn't saved from you" and "Lord/Long I pray for calmer seas". Anyway, the song is great.

  5. R.... V....

    Acho que é uma das minhas musicas favoritas de todas.

  6. e.... c....

    this song is far more honest than anyone realizes. she's been in a cage her whole life without a choice. she made many people wealthy, probably never had a true friend or was shown any authentic love at all as many child celebrities aren't. wish i could just give her a hug from the heart of poverty. much love girl.

  7. E.... N....

    Such a sexy voice and a great song

  8. L.... f....

    The best Taylor I've ever heard of...

  9. E.... t....

    I need a life jacket

  10. y.... ....

    i discovered this song when i was young, and now that i'm able to understand, it breaks my heart even more, i came here once in a while to heart this cuz i just love this

  11. d.... d....

    I heard my medicine in 2011 and that got me listening but this song. This song right here got me HOOKED.

  12. k.... w....

    When she screams SAVED something in me breaks

  13. A.... S....

    I enjoy this song❣

  14. J.... J....

    song for my teenage time

  21. M.... E....

    Parei de escutar essa música quando as coisas melhoraram. Mas agora, 5 anos depois, eu volto a me identificar com ela.

  22. K.... ....

    Avril Lavigne: Head above Water
    The Pretty Wreckless: Under the Water

    K.... ....

    @Say My Name avril was never rock she was a rock Wanda be overrated pop star that's it.

    K.... ....

    @vidella Delveen She was punk-pop. You don't need to tear another artist down just to put the other up on a pedestal, it's not cute.

    K.... ....

    @GoodFunVideos@GoodFunVideos ok believe what you want to, its just my opinion. she's talks more than she sings, she's not that good of a song writer. example hello kitty like hello your going to right a song to thank your fans of a certain country for support and you put that trash on a album sorry no respect. Her song tomorrow boring pointing out the obvious yeah tomorrow is a different day not clever. Im sorry but her voices was never there even for her age at she time she was signed. been there 18 years only put out about 6 albums, Barlow girls not there haft as long they decide they had a different calling they put out a album almost every year. when she sings on stage she sounds like some one singing to the radio. Im sorry but to be there so long she just nothing. I know you probably don't give a crap but I just thought I would explain. again just my opinion which is my right. say and call me what ever you like I still stick to my opinion, have a wonderful life. ps. was not tying to be cute I don't do cute. I just cant stand her so I sorry but I saw her name and just had to state my opinion, it just me.

  51. C.... M....

    Lay my head, under the water
    Lay my head, under the sea
    Excuse me sir, am I your daughter?
    Won't you take me back, take me back and see?
    There's not a time, for being younger
    And all my friends, are enemies
    And if I cried unto my mother
    No she wasn't there, she wasn't there for me
    Don't let the water drag you down (Don't let the water drag you down)
    Don't let the water drag you down
    Broken lines, across my mirror
    Show my face, all red and bruised
    And though I screamed and I screamed, well no one came running

    No I wasn't saved, I wasn't safe from you
    Don't let the water drag you down (Don't let the water drag you down)
    Don't let the water drag you down
    Don't let me drown, don't let me drown in the waves, oh
    I could be found, I could be what you had saved
    Saved, saved, saved

    Lay my head, under the water
    Aloud I pray, for calmer seas
    And when I wake from this dream, with chains all around me
    No, I've never been, I've never been free
    No, I've never been, I've never been free
    No, I've never been, I've never been free

    C.... M....

    I always cried when I used to listen this song...and now I am listening again after few years and I am not crying beacause I was saved by Jesus and Rock 'n' roll. People will disapoint you but God will always be there.

    L.... L....

    Eve Same

    E.... C....

    Rediscovered it today and man

    E.... C....

    I wonder if it's about something that maybe happened to her as a child actress

    E.... C....

    I remember kinda knowing the meaning. Not fully though but I knew what it might've been about. Damn...

    E.... C....

    When you are forced into being an actor and model (having not learnt how to speak yet to give consent) I can imagine all sorts of fucked up shit happens between there and adulthood
