[Chorus: McGwire & Mix Williams]
I try to keep my head above the water
But when I do I feel it sinking farther
I promise you, I'll take you when you're broken
And scatter the pieces
[Verse 1: Mix Williams]
I lost a part of me and that's for real
The thought of moving on without you feeling so surreal
I feel your power running through me
I won't ever forget you
I look up and know for sure you're looking down on me
And every time I'm close to breaking you look out for me
Every time I feel like quitting you gon hold me down
If I feel I can't solve a problem I know you gon show me how
I know I gotta move on, I got goals I gotta shoot for
If I'm in a scrape I think of you to save my life, I ain't talking coupons
Never felt this emptiness, I'm feeling now that you gone
You gone, you gone
I've heard it all before, yeah that's for sure
Keep your head up, time will heal all, well I'm not too sure
Looking up for help, I can't really see what my options are
Life ain't got a flow no more, this shit is more like stop and start
I need a sign from you to tell me you're OK
And I wanna know you understand I love you either way
And I got faith in my heart we gon meet again some day
If you just lead the way I know I'mma be OK, hey
[Chorus: McGwire]
I try to keep my head above the water
But when I do I feel it sinking farther
I promise you, I'll take you when you're broken
And scatter the pieces
[Verse 2: Gatsb7 & McGwire]
It's been a while since I've seen you
My mental pictures fading, these features are growing see through
I've held on to your smile and I lie to say I ain't need you
But I miss you, every day got me wishing to see a redo
And now they say it's better to have loved and to lost, but I love what I lost, so I'm tethered
I hear the quotes like pain is the cost for the moments we bought, guess I'm paying my tolls to the debtor
You used to tell me grief is like an ocean, let it ripple in
You get a wave, it ebbs and then it flows, but you can't let it win
So let it sink in when I'm gone and once it finally setting in
You need to turn the tides, you'll drown or you can finally learn to swim
Cause you got one life, one moment
One fight, one lowest
On light and you gon show it
One shot and you won't blow it
Even though you're gone I carry you on my side
So when we go to war I bringing you along for the ride
I got you on my chest, I wear it proudly
So I will never fear any human that wanna doubt me
We got em reeling, I tried to, let you go forever wasn't dealing
Had to learn to cherish life before I ever found my healing, let's go
[Chorus: McGwire]
I try to keep my head above the water
But when I do I feel it sinking farther
I promise you, I'll take you when you're broken
And scatter the pieces
