about

A song from the perspective of a girl who lost an unwanted pregnancy, and all the emotions that came with it.

lyrics

Does anybody know how you’re supposed to feel when the waves come crashing down?
Does anybody know how you’re supposed to swim when the sea wants you to drown?

Do they know? Could they ever know how?
They don’t think, yet I hear them speak now

Does anybody know if little fish feel pain?
Because I don’t believe they do
Why does it feel wrong to flush them down the drain, if that’s true?

I’ll throw up when I’m rid of it all
Can’t grow up, can’t get bigger at all

Not alone when I wanted to be
Tiny fish felt so separate from me
Never was, and was never gonna be
But you were. I was there.
You had eyes and I saw them with mine

Does anybody know what you’re supposed to do when you lose what you don’t want?
How can it feel bad to not be feeling sad?
But feel hollow when it’s gone?

I can’t breathe underwater, you know
Far away, I’m stuck watching you float

There’s no love in your heart for this
Let it go! It was just a fish!
You’re so dumb and surprised
Don’t you know fish have eyes?
Settle down, you’d be sick if they were hazel brown
It’s the product of something you wanted
And now that it’s died
You cry
You cry
Over a fishy you cry
