Sinking Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every night
Think of things I can't do or haven't done
And does it make me weak?
Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe
Is that all you see in me?
[Chorus]
Don't you wait for something more
I'll still be sinking to the floor
Oh, you can't help me
Now I'm all alone
Is it my doing? Is it my doing? Mmm
[Verse 2]
Outside, it's getting colder
Why does it feel like I'm older than I asked to be?
But when you say my name
It all falls away so tenderly
[Chorus]
Don't you wait for something more
I'll still be sinking to the floor
Oh, you tried to help me
Why do I feel so cold?
Is it my doing? Is it my doing?
[Outro]
(Ah)
Is it my doing? Is it my doing? (Ah)
Is it my doing? Oh (Ah)
Mmm, is it my doing? (Ah)
Mmm
