Sinking, while the water rises   In a stream   Helpless, as my indecision's   Drowning me      Tripping, over things that I should   Clearly see   Speechless, when a word would save me   It's words I fear      If I falter, would you help me make it right?   If I run for shelter, will you hold me for the night?   If I trust you, will it help me see the light?   I've lived my life alone, I've learned my lesson      Reaching, out to no one who can   Give me help   Feeling, for the candle   As I burn myself      If I falter, would you help me make it right?   If I run for shelter, will you hold me for the night?   If I trust you, will it help me see the light?   I've lived my life alone, I've learned my lesson      I've learned my lesson      Stop and overcompensate for all the times   That you've been afraid   The world's become a conversation, close the door   Somebody just might hear you      Never break the silence   Never break the law, never let them in   It seems so complicated   It's not all us and them      If I falter, would you help me make it right?   If I run for shelter, will you hold me for the night?   If I trust you, will it help me see the light?   I've lived my life alone, I've learned my lesson      If I falter, would you help me make it right?   If I run for shelter, will you hold me for the night?   If I love you, will it help me see the light?   I've lived my life alone
