I am all alone; your words have never brought me peace

They rain down upon my head and destroy everything

With weary eyes I stare at the sea

In the distance I hear you call out for me

I am so tired of running away

Only to come back right where I had buried this with my hands

Still you tell me that I can be trusted with a burden that I never wanted

No matter how I try to push you away I still hear you call out to me

I'm not the better man I'm called to be

Why can't I escape You pull me under the waves

I'm the one who made this sea

It's taken everything from me

Still you try to sing me to sleep

But I buried this with my hands

No matter what I try I keep coming back

I'm not the better man I'm called to be

Why can't I escape You pull me under the waves

I'm the one who made this sea

It's taken everything from me

Still you try to sing me to sleep

There were days that I asked for this to change but there was a fear inside of me

A fear that made me question who I am and why I'm capable of such horrible things

And every single promise that you whispered in my ear

That fear just kept growing until it consumed me

But I let that fear go and I can see who you are Your words gave me nothing

I've been running away for too long; I'm not running anymore

I will stand my ground and scream out loud

My heart won't be yours

So I buried this with my hands

And no matter what you try I won't be coming back

I'm not the better man I'm called to be

Why can't I escape You pull me under the waves

I'm the one who made this sea

It's taken everything from me

And no matter what you try you won't sing me to sleep you won't sing me to sleep you won't sing me to sleep
