Submerge

Sitting by myself
And wondering
Why the only bliss I feel
Is from the things that aren't real

I want to know
If I was
Given the chance to change it all
Would I give in or would I fall?
And now

I'm submerged in it all
Everywhere I look
I'm surrounded by my faults

I wish
I could put it all on pause
Wait a minute
Till the storm calms down

I wish
I could be happy
From the little things I see
But I'm constantly reminded
Of the things
I couldn't be

And I know before I get away
There's still a lot that's left to say
But now
I'm submerged in it all
Everywhere I look
I'm surrounded by my faults

I wish
I could put it all on pause
Wait a minute
Till the storm calms down

And I know I've come a long way and I'm better with myself
But there's still that nagging feeling I belong to someone else
I don't know if I'll be happy but I'm better off alone

I know everything is simpler when I do it on my own
And I'm sorry if it hurts you that I'm pushing you away
But I think it'd hurt you more if I were to let you stay

I don't want to be your burden
I'm my own and it's enough
All these thoughts I've been submerged in

Say the waters will be rough
I'm running out of time wish I could put it all on pause
And wait a minute
Till the storm calms down
