about

This song is about some dark moments in my life. If all you can do is just get yourself out of bed some mornings, then that's good enough. It's ok to not be ok sometimes.

lyrics

I don't want to grow old without you by my side.
I don't want to give in, I'd rather be alone tonight.
I don't want to be so cold when love has led me from the light.
I want to be yours but I'd rather be along tonight.

O My Lord, he's not coming around anymore.
This time I see his body's washed up on the shore.

She was 15, ready for the world.
She was breaking, cancer in every curl.
Eight years and I can't forget her words,
She says, "You better fight even when it kills".

O My Lord, she's not coming around anymore. x2
This time I see her body's washed up on the shore.

You were silent as we walked into the sea.
And I cried upon your coat as you carried me.
You write freedom upon the grave, restoration upon this heart that he breaks. x2

So close your eyes and wait for a new day to rise, a new horizon. And don't be ashamed child to walk through the blazing fire - I'll carry you to the waters.
