Smile/Drown

So much on the mind today So many things I want to say Secrets I try to not betray, how? So much left for me to do This sense of urgency is new No matter how buried deep down I can't smile as I drown My teeth will fall right out My lips can't make a sound But I can feel your arms surround me Promise you, I promise to stick around I can't smile as I drown One of us is here and gone Half a century is not Time enough to make one's mark If I tell the truth I fear I'll just bring the reaper near So what am I supposed to do now? I can't smile as I drown My teeth will fall right out My lips can't make a sound But I can feel your arms surround me Promise you, I promise to stick around But I can't smile as I drown Bottle all the fear and doubt Seal it up and shut it out Why would I want to burden you? You who all you want for me Is to live and laugh and love and breathe Just carry me in case I shut down I can't smile as I drown My teeth will fall right out My lips can't make a sound But I can feel your arms surround me Promise you, I promise to stick around I can't smile as I drown I can't smile as I drown I can't smile as I drown
