In Too Deep

Once my father asked me "If anything is ever wrong, let me know. We can work out of it. Promise me?" Of course I said yes, but I thought these very words at that moment.

I'm sorry
I lied to you
But you told me too late
I'm in too deep to be pulled out of this water
I can't speak if I have no voice
Or if I make that choice
