False Start

You act like you’re walking on water
Reality sinks in
You’re just sinking
You let my efforts fade away it’s
A perfect canvas to a flame

I’ll just dig my feet in the sand
And let the tide bury me alive

This was a false start
To a lost art
We’re bending over backwards
But rest assure we’re moving forward
This was a false start
To a lost art
Too bad I was a seed when you tried to bury me

Think of how you left me in the dirt
You never seemed to care about the hurt
I was knee deep and you didn’t see me
It goes to show
Cause I still forgive you

You should’ve known better
If you’re the bellwether
Then tell me how we end up here?

I’m looking for my place in the sun
Before I burn out
I’ll show you that I’m fine now
But don’t let your guard down
