I've seen this before, and now that I know
I cannot ignore your desire to go
I respect it's your decision
But you neglect my ambition to answer your calls
I didn't know you much before
But now you've opened up that door
Shown me the storm that's raging within
I'll help it pass with the changing wind
My friend, I'm reaching out my hand
It's not the end, I'll guide you home to land
I watch you tread water, with an anchor shackled to your ankle its hard to be thankful
As I watch you slipping under
I search for the key, to set you free, but I'm coming up empty
All I can do is hold you up to breathe, until you decide to leave
I've been there before, and it wasnt easy
But I fought and battled to retrieve me, from the dark, thoughts
I surrounded myself in positivity
In music, books and family
And eventually I found me again
My friend, I'm reaching out my hand
It's not the end, I'll guide you home to land
I watch you tread water, with an anchor shackled to your ankle its hard to be thankful
As I watch you slipping under
I search for the key, to set you free, but I'm coming up empty
All I can do is hold you up to breathe, until you decide to leave
I promise I will hold you up to breathe, until you decide to leave
My friend, I'm reaching out my hand
It's not the end, I'll guide you home to land
I watch you tread water, with an anchor shackled to your ankle its hard to be thankful
As I watch you slipping under
I search for the key, to set you free, but I'm coming up empty
All I can do is hold you up to breathe, until you decide to leave
I promise I will hold you up to breathe, so you dont have to leave
