Drowning
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Maybe I'm just living out the same old stories in and out
But you know that don't make it easier
Time will fly away with me if truth won't stop and let me see
And tell me I am to believe that you and I should never be again
I'm drowning
When the one you leave is the one thing you believe
You say goodbye when underneath's your one belief
That love rules all, conquers all
It's funny how the times that seem unbearable
Are the ones that you don't ever want to end
And when your childhood slips away
You find you face a brand new day
And you know it can't be the same again
'Cause when you leaved you stayed in my memory
I'm saying goodbye for now and the road is long for us
And good luck in finding your way
Clawing out will sometimes seem so far away
Never knowing if I'll live to see another day
Never seem to find out what to do
No one seems to tell you
'Cause you're drowning
When the one you leave is the one thing you believe
You say goodbye when underneath's your one belief
That love rules all, conquers all
That love rules all, it conquers all
