Like Water Through Sand
I've tried so hard,
It all went to fast,
I've fucked up my life,
So much in the past.
I've tried to break free,
From all this mess,
I am just me,
But that's not what you see.
This is my life,
Everyday left to fight,
The world on my own,
I just want to be home.
This is where I am,
All by myself,
Wish that I could show you,
That I want your help.
I've been through so much,
I can make it on my own,
I wish I could tell you,
I want to come home.
I've taken the wrong paths,
Just because I care,
I miss you so much,
I wish I could be there.
Now it's too late,
You don't understand,
I'm like whispers in the wind,
Like water through sand.
One day I hope,
That you will see,
Why I did what I did,
And just accept me for me.
