Never thought it'd go like this
Tried to be an optimist
But we all grow up
And some get left behind

Nothing wrong with staying still
Bide my time until
The storm evaporates from my mind

Now my hands are numb
Don't know where to run
Pull me to the shore
Can't do it no more

Been treading water
Alone
For so long

Been treading water
Alone
For so long
For so long

I'll go on
(I) I'll go on

Don't look up
As the clouds
Pass me by, I
Know tides will turn in my favour
I'll be braver

I can't let it show
Loneliness below
Look at up at the Sun
Won't come undone

Been treading water
Alone
For so long

Been treading water
Alone
For so long
For so long

I'll go on
(I) I'll go on

Feet on the ocean floor
What lies ahead will be more
Just let the weight go
Don't be afraid of the dark
The tides will rise as they fall
I'm only floating for now

Been treading water
Alone
For so long

Been treading water
Alone
For so long
For so long

I will go
I'll go on
(I) I'll go on
(I) I'll go on
