Don't say I told you so
I've paid for my mistakes
I've come undone
Pleasing everyone

Don't say that I don't know
'Cause I've traveled this way before
My silence don't mean that I'm calm
I'm aware what's going on

I've tried to carry on, pleasing every one
Singing the same old song, song
But I've come to realize that it's all just my disguise
My soul I've compromised

I've been the words that you couldn't say
I've been the calming of your pain
I've been, I've been, drowning in heaven

I've been the breath that you couldn't take
I've been the bridge you washed away
I've been drowning in heaven

I'm leaving taking what I have left
Words just cannot express
When there's no one here to hear your prayer
No validation for the cross you bear

Tell me, tell me, tell me
What do you feel when I'm brought down to my knees
Surely you can see there's more to me
Than me

I've tried to carry on, pleasing every one
And I've been singing the same old song, song
But I've come to realize, it's all just my disguise
My soul, I've compromised

I've been the words that you couldn't say
I've been the calming of your pain
I've been, I've been, drowning in heaven

I've been the breath that you couldn't take
I've been the bridge you washed away
I've been drowning in heaven
