Lyrics for Strength to Survive

I see the pain you're drowning in I want more than anything To rescue you as you're sinking But you are forgetting You were already swimming Long before I was ever around You've tread these waters many times before And always ended up on shore Now you've somehow started to believe (Your false belief) That I'm your only hope of not drowning Drowning I see the pain you're drowning in But I can't reach you I can't save you I feel the weight that makes you sink But I can't reach you Without being pulled in Drowning Think back to a time before you felt lost Think back to a time it wasn't just us Now you've somehow started to believe (Your false belief) That I'm your only hope of not drowning Drowning You might also like Through Storms Ahead As I Lay Dying Gears That Never Stop As I Lay Dying Taken From Nothing As I Lay Dying I see the pain you're drowning in But I can't reach you I can't save you I feel the weight that makes you sink But I can't reach you Without being pulled in I have nothing but false hope to give Drowning You had power then and you still do now Without chasing a savior who will never be found I want more than anything To rescue you as you sink But now you're starting to see That you never needed me I'm not the one, who will save you I wish I could but I, am drowning too We're strong enough as soon as we believe We are the ones who choose our destiny Sinking, fading, drowning I see the pain you're drowning in But I can't reach you I can't save you I feel the weight that makes you sink But I can't reach you Without being pulled in I see fear in your eyes (Despair, dismay, and doubt) Find your strength to survive Strength inside without being pulled in I am not the one who will save you I wish I could, but I'm drowning too
