On Your Shore

On Your Shore -Charlotte Martin

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 couldn't

See in the dark or find your way through me

Now 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

God 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 am

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 am

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

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
