Lesson

sinking
 while the water rises
 in a stream
 helpless
 as my indecision's
 drowning me
 tripping
 over things that i should
 clearly see
 speechless
 when a word would save me
 it's words i fear
 if i falter
 would you help me make it right
 if i run for shelter
 will you hold me for the night
 if i trust you
 will it help me see the light
 i've lived my life alone
 i've learned my lesson
 reaching
 out to no one who can
 give me help
 feeling
 for the candle as i
 burn myself
 if i falter
 would you help me make it right
 if i run for shelter
 will you hold me for the night
 if i trust you
 will it help me see the light
 i've lived my life alone
 i've learned my lesson
 i've learned my lesson
 stop and overcompensate
 for all the times
 that you've been afraid
 the world's become a conversation
 close the door
 somebody just might hear you
 never break the silence
 never break the law
 never let them in
 it seems so complicated
 it's not all us & them
 if i falter
 would you help me make it right
 if i run for shelter
 will you hold me for the night
 if i trust you
 will it help me see the light
 i've lived my life alone
 i've lived my life alone
 if i falter
 would you help me make it right
 if i run for shelter
 will you hold me for the night
 if i love you
 will it help me see the light
 i've lived my life alone
