Flooded, Our Dreams

Break loose

Open up the wonders

You never knew what was coming, did you?

Open up

Tell the truth now

I never said I was sorry, and I'm not



These waters have risen for years

I held it all back with so many fears

The bridge is flooded, we cannot go across

Break down the walls, open the doors

I cannot hold this back anymore



Tell the truth now, did you love me?

Was I the worst mistake you have made?

I want to know now, why won't you tell me?

I never did anything to deserve such a heartbreak



These roads are flooded

Tonight I yell out to you

I need some help with my situation

My boat is sunk without a pump

I never even got it started

Now I am stuck here on this rooftop



These waters have risen for years

I held it all back with so many fears

The bridge is flooded, we cannot go across

Break down the walls, open the doors

I cannot hold this back anymore



It's about time you know

What it was that made me cry

All those times you left

All those times I was out of breath

I couldn't catch you



You ran away, as if nto to say

"Goodbye" was the last thing that I never heard



Now I am floating here face down

My dreams, they all came tumbeling down

I feel I'll surely drown, without you here

Where are you, where are you, why did you leave me?



These waters have risen for years

(These rafts of shame)

I held it all back with so many fears

(Little did you know I would choke)

The bridge is flooded, we cannot go across

(Swim to me, make it right)

Break down the walls, open the doors

(Break down, let me see the truth)

I cannot hold this back anymore


Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this one in memory if events in the past, as well as the recent past. I guess I just want to know the truth for once...
