I dig my heels into the dirt cause this one's gonna hurt
|
Won't let the waves wash me away is what I always pray
|
In my heart I know you couldn't see in the dark or find your way through me
|
Now I'm alone my hands are numb how do I carry on
|
|
At the turn of the tide I feel this part of me die
|
Am I washed on your shore and barely alive?
|
|
Now I'm held hostage in my head with every word you said
|
God all those lessons in my past I spit them out so fast I
|
See myself
|
With you I act so small see myself with you I always crawl
|
So someone leave a raft for me the water's getting deep
|
|
At the turn of the tide I feel this part of me die
|
Am I washed on your shore and barely alive?
|
|
Here I am in my insecurity
|
Here I am with my damaged dignity
|
Here I am you're pulling me in too deep
|
Here I am
|
Here I am, I'm in the mercy seat
|
Here I am, running without my feet
|
Here I am, oh what's come over me
|
Here I am
|
|
When I was melting in your hand you didn't understand
|
You slip through me like grains of sand you still don't understand
|
Overboard I'm thrown out to see what you are and what I mean to me
|
But I will always have my dream where you can swim to me
|
|
At the turn of the tide I feel this part of me die
|
I've been on your shore before and it was no waste of time
|
Over my head and in my mind
|
Am I washed on your shore and barely alive
|
