Why I’m Here

[Verse 1]
I was trapped in the fire
I was caught in the flames
I almost drowned in the water
I was left in the rain
So I stay dry

You pulled me tight to your shoulder
Turned my head sideways
I guess I gave in the moment
When I gave up the race
I'll tell you why

[Chorus]
Oh I promised that I'd
Keep to myself this time
But I can't help the way I feel
And if you knew how hard I tried
To keep you off my mind
You'd know exactly why I'm here

[Verse 2]
I get the calls from my mama
Her worry bleeds into mine
She says you're just like my father
Gonna leave me behind
I built a wall in his absense
I never learned how to trust
And I gave into habit
When I pushed me off
So pull me in

[Chorus]
Oh I promised that I'd
Keep to myself this time
But I can't help the way I feel
And if you knew how hard I tried
To keep you off my mind
You'd know exactly why I'm here

[Bridge]
Don't keep me waiting, no
Don't keep me waiting on ya
Don't keep me waiting, no
Don't keep me waiting on ya

[Chorus]
Oh I promised that I'd
Keep to myself this time
But I can't help the way I feel
And if you knew how hard I tried
To keep you off my mind
You'd know exactly why I'm here
You'd know exactly why I'm here
