on your shore

[efg7]

everyone should listen to this song, because it is great lyrically, & musically as well.

charlotte martin - on your shore

i dig my heels into the dirt cause this one's gonna hurt
won't let the waves wash me away is what i always pray
in my heart i know you didn't see
in the dark or find your way through me
wow i'm alone, my hands are numb
how do i carry on?

at the turn of the tide, i feel this part of me die
am i washed on your shore and barely alive?

now i'm held hostage in my head with every word you said
got all those lessons in my past - i spit them out so fast
i see myself - with you i act so small
see myself - with you i always crawl
so someone leave a raft for me - the water's getting deep

at the turn of the tide, i feel this part of me die
am i washed on your shore and barely alive?

here i am - in my insecurity
here i am - with my damaged dignity
here i am - you're pulling me in too deep
here i ammmm
here i am - i'm in the mercy seat
here i am - running without my feet
here i am - oh what's come over me?
here i ammmm

when i was melting in your hand, you didn't understand
you slip through me like grains of sand - you still don't understand
overboard, i'm thrown out to see(/sea)
what you are and what i mean to me
but i will always have my dream
where you can swim to me

at the turn of the tide, i feel this part of me die
i've been on your shore before and it was no waste of time
over my head and in my mind
am i washed on your shore and barely alive?

am i washed on your shore and barely alive?

and now i need to get ready to go.
