Ocean

Painted me like a sky couldn't see I was an ocean And deep beneath the undertow of emotions I sank below Tried to tell you what I thought and I how I feel Told me I was wrong it wasn't real And so I tried to hide But it overwhelms me Lost out at sea Clinging desperately To the one last bit of light In the dark of the night And I keep sinking deeper down You just watch me drown Tried to make me into something I could never be Couldn't fit the mold it's like a prison I can't break free And I don't wanna do this I just wanna be me But you only see beauty in the sky, afraid of the unknown of the deep Hot and cold fronts, we collided and caused an epic storm Rain and lightning struck the surface, the waves roared Uncontrollably Destroying anything good and refusing help 'Cause I don't need anyone, just need myself Or so I thought I didn't know then Could have used a friend When I couldn't see the end Of the tunnel only dark Like the depths of my heart And I keep sinking deeper down You just watch me drown Tried to make me into something I could never be Couldn't fit the mold it's like a prison I can't break free And I don't wanna do this I just wanna be me But you only see beauty in the sky, afraid of the unknown of the deep So now it's time to say goodbye to you and I, oh don't you cry I'm not what you need Gotta set me free I watch you leave with a piece of me and I finally see things clearly How we could never be 'Cause I'm not what you need
