Swim

Keep watch

With eyes that scan the sea

Shore lost

Drifting like a leaf

Hope dashed

Right before my eyes

Endless blue

Endless night

You've got to hurt before you heal

you’ve got to earn a heart of steel

You've got to float before you learn to swim

I was only trying not to sink

I was only trying

3 days

Not a breathe of wind

First rays

Setting on my skin

Landless

I’m in deeper than I think

push me out

or pull me in

You've got to hurt before you heal

you’ve got to earn a heart of steel

You've got to float before you learn to swim

I was only trying not to sink

I was only trying

And I watch my guiding star

As it plunges to the dark

I should have thrown my heavy heart

to break the water 

or break my fall

You've got to hurt before you heal

You’ve got to earn a heart of steel

You've got to float before you learn to swim

I was only trying not to 

Laugh before i cry

You’ve got to live before you die

You’ve got to float before you learn to swim

I was only trying not to sink  

I was only trying

I was only trying not to sink

I was only trying

I was only trying not to sink
