[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh

[Verse 1]
You said I'm not giving enough
But baby girl, I'm trying so hard to keep up
When you fear that I'ma always leave you lonely
But you see that I want us to last forever
And my heart stays open
Darling, you know it will get better

[Pre-Chorus]
But you know this shit won't happen overnight
We just gotta give love a try
And when you look beside you
Girl, I'll be there

[Chorus]
When it rains down your face
Tell me where do the tears end up?
Don't wanna drown in the rivers of your sorrow
And I, I will swim a thousand miles just for one minute to see you smile, yeah
So I'm treading water, treading water
Please don't cry 'cause you're drowning me

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh

[Verse 2]
What do you say?
What do you mean that you blame me?
Why is it today that you're doubting me?
That I'ma always leave you lonely
But you see that I want us to last forever
And my heart stays open
Darling, you know it will get better

[Pre-Chorus]
But you know this shit won't happen overnight
We just gotta give love a try
And when you look beside you
Girl, I'll be there

[Chorus]
When it rains down your face
Tell me where do the tears end up? (Tell me where does the tears end up)
Don't wanna drown in the rivers of your sorrow (Oh, no)
And I, I will swim a thousand miles just for one minute to see you smile, yeah
So I'm treading water, treading water (Oh)
Please don't cry 'cause you're drowning me

[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh

Grammy-winning R&B singer, rapper, dancer, graffiti artist, illustrator and the first male lead artist to have his debut single top the Billboard Hot 100 in 8 years with “Run It!” in 2005, Breezy is undoubtedly a multifaceted artist. To add to this, he is the father of Royalty, a princess and the inspiration for his 7th studio album Royalty.

It’s undeniable his ability as a musician, dancer, and all-round entertainer. At the 54th Annual Grammy Awards (February 12th, 2012) his 4th studio album F.A.M.E. won the award for Best R&B Album and a huge number of other awards and nominations ranging from his debut as a 16 year old in 2005 to his most recent projects.

Brown’s career is long-lived, pristine and all about his music with hits such as “Look At Me Now,” “Turn Up the Music,” and “Loyal,” and successful collaborations with Omarion on his hit “Post to Be” and Lil Dicky's “Freaky Friday” in recent years.
