As I Lay Dying - Strength to Survive Lyrics

(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 (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
I can't reach you, I can't save you
I feel the weight that makes you sink
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

I see the pain you're drowning in
I can't reach you, I can't save you
I feel the weight that makes you sink
I can't reach you without being pulled in, yeah

I have nothing but false hope to give, drowning
You had the power then and you still do now
Without chasing a savior who will never be found

I want more than anything (anything)
To rescue you as you sink
But now you're starting to see (you're starting to see)
That you never needed me

I'm not the one (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
(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
I can't reach you, I can't save you
I feel the weight that makes you sink
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
