Verse 1
I feel alone in a world that I'm nothing like
Staring out at rough waters almost every night
Nothing coming easy always seems to be a fight
Just to find a little happiness so tell me what it's like
To feel like you belong in the world that they created
They say it's a precious stone, but I'm just getting jaded
They show me so much love, say how proud they are I made it
But I can't take it in 'cause these walls just keep me gated
Got me faded, and every nights a blur, a different city
And it's lonely 'cause I pushed away everyone who was near me
Yo' and I don't think you hear me so let me say this sincerely
I'm sorry for the pain that I caused, I miss you dearly
But this game it isn't easy, sometimes you don't think clearly
Sometimes you're at the end of your rope, your eyes are teary
And the more that you fight, the more that you're just growing weary
So you pick up a knife, ready to end it, see the clearing
Barely
Chorus
I keep holding on
I keep holding strong
Even though I try to fake it
Like a boat without an anchor
I keep holding on
I keep holding strong
Even though I try to fake it
Like a boat without an anchor
Verse 2
Like a boat drifting out into sea
Always battered by the waves, almost drowning in the dark of the deep
Every night it gets harder to sleep
S.O.S. 'til I die right here on the side of the beach
If I could take it all back, I'd do it all again
But I can't so I guess it's me against the wind
I've come face to face with my mistakes and sins
Dug up to the surface what was buried within
And I refuse to let these waves come and knock me down
I'm stepping out of the boat onto the solid ground
I'll live the same in the dark when nobody's around
As I do in the light, in front of the whole crowd
And it's a long road up where I'll never come down
Keep my head in those clouds, gotta let it go now
All the past and the pain, I'm glad that you came
But now you gotta go, come this way, let me show you the door
Verse 3
No more crying get up
Get up, get up, just sit up
There's no excuse to give up
If you want it, lets get rid of
All these stupid excuses
You stay so far and elusive
Drifting by
It's time you find that anchor inside
So you can step onto the boat with all the weight that you've carried
Throw it over, let it sink to the bottom and bury it
Lighten up your load so you no longer carry it
Let the sail down so the wind isn't tearing it
Sit in still water 'til the birds have surrounded
Take a deep breath and take all of the sounds in
No more going whichever way the ship is thrown around
Let your anchor always keep you grounded
