It's on the tip of my tongue But I can't spit it out The weight of the world On two shoulders is more than I'll allow Two thousand leagues below I can feel the pressure start to build I'll push and push and push Until I'm ready to face the world Like a tidal wave Crashing over me These feelings take control How can I find the words to let you know? I'm running on empty Kicking my feet to keep from going down I won't drown I need all you can give me I'll let the water rise up from the ground I won't drown I gather my thoughts Just to have them ripped away It's like that dream I always have But the outcome never turns out the same Like a tidal wave Crashing over me These feelings take control Why can't I find the words to let you know? I'm running on empty Kicking my feet to keep from going down I won't drown I need all you can give me I'll let the water rise up from the ground I won't drown I can hear them saying "Girl get a hold of yourself Don't you know you can't trust anybody else?" I'm running on empty Kicking my feet to keep from going down I won't drown I need all you can give me I'll let the water rise up from the ground I won't drown I'm running on empty Kicking my feet to keep from going down I won't drown I need all you can give me I'll let the water rise up from the ground I won't drown
