Past repeated

So I'm drowning again, daddy
and I've been crying again, daddy
Once again, you weren't there
to see me break down

They all sat and watched
Arms resting on my shoulder
Each touch was cold
It wasn't yours

Now I'm slipping away
No hand strong enough to pull me back
It's your arms I need
I need you to care

Still you stand watching from a distance
Your laughter I softly hear
and though I feel your presence
I stand freezing here
