Staying Afloat
Sinking, struggling Trying to stay afloat I want so badly to close my eyes let it all go dark and give up
Sinking, struggling Trying to stay afloat I want so badly to close my eyes let it all go dark and give up
Sometimes, I work carefully taking my time but I still make mistakes and that’s okay
Don’t let them get you down Rise up and stand tall Hold your head high And you’ll show them all
Fear not the unknown for only through change can we see a better way of living
On the outside staring through glass calling, to no avail feeling like you’re second class
Even on the days when everything goes wrong Keep going forward We’ll all help you be strong
I was so excited to see you that I jumped for joy and squealed But when I ran to greet you You backed away in fear
No matter how dark the day No matter how black the night It can only take one voice to say Everything’s gonna be alright
How many times have I repeated the same words to an empty room to feel like someone’s listening?
I know you’re scared of the darkness all around of the darkness inside that it will never go away
