Charlotte Martin - On Your Shore Lyrics
I dig my heels into the dirt'Cause this one's gonna hurtWon't let the waves wash me awayIs what I always prayIn my heart I know you couldn't seeIn the dark or find your way through meNow I'm alone, my hands are numbHow do I carry on?At the turn of the tideI feel this part of me dieAm I washed on your shore and barely alive?Now I'm held hostage in my headWith every word you saidGod, all those lessons in my pastI spit them out so fastI see myself with you, I act so smallI see myself with you, I always crawlSo someone leave a raft for meThe water's getting deepAt the turn of the tideI feel this part of me dieAm I washed on your shore and barely alive?Here I am in my insecurityHere I am in my damaged dignityHere I am, you're pulling me in too deepHere I amHere I am, I'm in the mercy seatHere I am, running without my feetHere I am, oh what's come over me?Here I amWhen I was melting in your handYou didn't understandYou slip through me like grains of sandYou still don't understandOverboard, I'm thrown out to seeWhat you are and what I mean to meBut I will always have my dream where you can swim to meAt the turn of the tideI feel this part of me dieI've been on your shore beforeAnd it was no waste of timeOver my head and in my mindAm I washed on your shore and barely alive?
