I've been a little too concerned about the way I feel
And I start forgetting what is real
Until you stripped away my last defense
I wasn't always the way I am
I tell myself I was dealt a rotten hand
I guess it might be time to stop playing games
I'm tired of loving You haphazardly
I want it all. What You've got for Me.
I'm tired of just saying, "I am free"
I want to feel a change. I want to believe.
I'm still a slave to the pillow and plate
I've got a heart full of love and a mouth full of hate
Seasoned well with overwhelming guilt
And they say that forgiveness is never far
But I stopped looking, wondering where You are
These days I just expect You not to show
But I'm tired of living in the shadow of the past
I want to be here. Taste what this moment has.
It's been years since the last time I exhaled
I'm so afraid someone will see I failed
Oh! Letting go
Is the hardest thing I know
Next to reaping what you sow
I want to forget
Everything that I've been told
Your love's the only thing I really know
I've got a little bit of faith and I hope it's enough
If You're sleeping down below the water's getting rough
And I'm not sure how much longer I can stay afloat
I never love You enough when the sea is calm
And the dry land makes the sailor's heart numb
But when you start making waves I'm overcome.
