Analysis of Did you?
Gea gray 2005 (texas)
Did you know your love was drowning when you pulled me in so deep?
Did you realize I was dying, or did you think I was asleep?
Did you know my heart was breaking, did you even look for a beat?
When you saw tears fall down my cheeks did you think it was rain?
Or did you know all along your “love” was causing me pain?
You can stand and play the victim, never plead guilty for this crime.
It wouldn’t matter anyways the heart put in a prison was mine
