Maybe we're all big skeptics
I can't seem to find the strength to fight for me
Maybe these tears would cause some healing
I don't recognize who you want me to be

I'm giving my heart another try
To feel a wave that beats beneath the tide

I'm tryn'na let this go
But the pavement you carved before me
Doesn't let me flow
You're an ink that keeps me needing
You should've let me know
That my soul would be hardly beating
How could I have known
I was beyond you past the line

Maybe words seem harder to come by
I need to find a page to write or give
You gave me reasons not to ask why
I guess it's time to put these games to rest

I'm giving my heart another try
To feel a wave that beats beneath the tide

I'm tryn'na let this go
But the pavement you carved before me
Doesn't let me flow
You're an ink that keeps me needing
You should've let me know
That my soul would be hardly beating
How could I have known
I was beyond you past the line

I would sit on a rooftop
Catch fleeting feels one at a time

Fling my soul into the ocean
Skip smooth rocks by the river side

I could dive into the water
Leave the edge of my deepest sigh

We could lie across each other
But my eyes see through your hidden lies

I'm tryn'na let this go
But the pavement you carved before me
Doesn't let me flow
You're an ink that keeps me needing
You should've let me know
That my soul would be hardly beating
How could I have known
I was beyond you past the line
