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.
