Waves crash around my frail body
This strong current is pulling me down
I can't fight this, I don't have the strength
I can't fight this, I don't have the will
You can fight this, find the strength in yourself
You can fight this, only if you choose to
These waves, pull me, they pull me underneath
These waves, pull me, they pull me further down
From you, so true, you wait for me there
From her, kind eyes, I can't remember her voice
I can't escape from this tide
Cannot run I cannot hide
We've been thriving in this lie and it's eating me alive
I can't live in this lie, I just can't survive
With your waves pulling me under
I won't run I won't hide, I wait for your tides to come to pull me under
I won't hide
I will survive, whatever tomorrow brings
Slowly sinking, I can't escape your pull, close my eyes and I am swallowed whole
And I am surrounded by you
Immersed in you
And once again I am whole
Once again I am whole
I am whole
I can't live in this lie, I just can't survive
With your waves pulling me under
I won't run I won't hide, I wait for your tides to come to pull me under
