I could cry an ocean over everything But I'd just be drowning myself I see a lifeboat in the distance But I'm too scared To reach out for it People have such high Expectations Ones I can't live up to I can't even face them It's always too soon I could sail away And save me Let them all down They wouldn't care But I would care It's the tiniest lifeboat But it could do so much It's only a lifeboat Don't know where it'll go All that I know Is that I'll be happy But I can't do that I can't be happy I see a lifeboat in the distance It could save me But I won't reach for it It gets farther and farther away And I just get pulled deeper and deeper in I see a lifeboat in the distance But it's too late I've made my decision

Lifeboat
I could cry an ocean over everything But I'd just be drowning myself I see a lifeboat in the distance But I'm too scared To reach out for it People have such high Expectations Ones I can't live up to I can't even face them It's always too soon I could sail away And save me Let them all down They wouldn't care But I would care It's the tiniest lifeboat But it could do so much It's only a lifeboat Don't know where it'll go All that I know Is that I'll be happy But I can't do that I can't be happy I see a lifeboat in the distance It could save me But I won't reach for it It gets farther and farther away And I just get pulled deeper and deeper in I see a lifeboat in the distance But it's too late I've made my decision
My way out, but I can't take it. And no. It's not death.
