I tried to be clever
I tried to hide
Everything is easy
Everything is good
But it was all on the surface
Treading muddy waters
Screaming “can You hold me up?”
“Are You still holding on?”
I don’t know how to open all up
Maybe I should’ve but i never did
All I could do then was stare at the floor
So I just keep moving
But I can’t move on
I guess thats why I stay the same
Holding back tears
though it’s coming at me
like a tidal wave
And I’ve been holding my breath,
praying,
come again
i hope You stay
i won’t run
if You’ll have me still
Yet You look at me,
Soft, gentle, brilliant,
And I don’t know why.
I’m hardly listening
though You’re always calling
hoping Your love might be discovered
saying
I haven’t left
And I haven’t tried
And you’ll never
fall
outside my love
