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
