The writing's on the wall
and i can't read it
The words that say it all 
and I can't believe it

You say you'll take the fall 
You'll be around
But the crunch time comes 
and as expected, you're nowhere to be found 

I'm drowning
Drowning with you 
I can't breathe
But i want to 
I gotta leave, gotta get away 
I'm drowning with you 

You slammed on the pedal 
Foot to the floor 
Broke more than what you ever bargained for 
This lesson learned has done no good at all 
It's done more harm than it should 


I'm drowning
Drowning with you 
I can't breathe
But i want to 
I gotta leave, gotta get away 
I'm drowning with you 

My guard's up tall 
I'm standing still 
Both feet on the ground 
Like i promised you, and I always will 

I'm drowning
Drowning with you 
I can't breathe
But i want to 
I gotta leave, gotta get away 
I'm drowning with you 


Drowning

I don't usually run, 
but I'll run with you 
Far away to the day 
That lets you stay 

I don't usually ask, 
but I'm asking you 
Stay here with me 
or take me too

I need you.

I don't usually cry, 
but I'm crying now 

As this pen fills this page 
with words I don't understand, 
I get it all somehow

I need you. 



Don't Usually

The side you lay,
remains untouched another day 
Here I wake late, 
Here I'll stay 
Roll over and look at the empty space,
that once held your face

And I'll never get to say 
Goodbye 

The world around, 
keeps living on
But mines stopped spinning now you're gone

I'd do anything to have yesterday again, 
before the end.

Goodbye.

The smoke burns you away,
and the pieces that remain,
stand for what you were yesterday
It's not a race, but you've won. 
 





Yesterday

I stand alone, 
looking out at the unknown.

And I fall into my skin, 
withdrawn from the world,
where only I can break in. 

But i need to undo, 
retrace my steps until i find you. 

Stick to what you know
They said let it go, let it go
Stick to what you're shown,
But I want to fall into the arms 
of the unknown.

The world expects somehow,
a definite answer, and it wants it now
But the open questions show, 
direction to the unknown 

But I need to undo, 
retrace my steps until I find you. 

Stick to what you know
They said let it go, let it go
Stick to what you're shown,
but I want to fall into the arms 
of the unknown.

Unknown

You said be honest with me,
But this is honesty in the element of vulnerability. 

You said love me and everything will be ok, 
But this is me and I love you in every way. 
Believe me, I love you every way. 

You ask why, but maybe I'm afraid of trying, 
with the possibility to have to reason with the enemy of reality. 
But you saw this coming you said,
Well that makes one, coz i don't know exactly what I've done here. 
I dont know what I've done. 

You're all I know.. 

You want an answer, 
and I know thats it's unfair to strip it back down to bare, 
and still dare to say i care. 

I need the other situation to narrow down decision, 
coz you know thats all it takes, 
and I give you my full permission, 
I do, I give it to you. 

You're all I know.. 

Though you're not here, I look and you're there,
and I know that you're not going anywhere. 
When you were here all I'd never doubt 
are the things I do now that I'm without. 

You're all i know.. 

You're All I Know

I'd Be Alright

I didn't think I could feel this empty,
but here I am.
Forgetting you, well I'm trying,
Letting go- I swear I've tried. 

I didn't think you could hold this over me, 
but there you are. 
I been resilient, ignoring you're persistence 
I swear I've tried. 

How did you know, it wouldn't last?
How did you know, it would become my past?

I can't stop my mind from remembering 
Though God knows I tried pretending
I've tried 

How did you know, it wouldn't last?
How did you know, it would become my past?

I've Tried

It starts off just a dream- finding everything.
Then you're living it out not knowing,
What's coming or going.

But his words say it all,
And her faith remains unconditional.
The questions unknown, answered in right time
Seemingly undefined

They vow in sickness and in health 
and agree to love above all else

The storm passes with love
It guides a path, healing hidden wounds from above
The security of love changes everything
From start to end
And all that's in between
Tells a story where we've been 
and marks the land 
we've seen side by side,
hand in hand 

From making home where we were lead to be
We set up camp 
living by the values 
Taught to us and learnt through trust

To following a road not knowing where it goes
And landing in a place so full of life
We can't fault anything at all

They grieve the losses which guide the need to 
agree and let trust be enough to make it through 

It all goes by so fast,
but reality can't let a dream last
As the end closes in
Revealing everything
An open door that leads to only 
the start of so much more
