I hope you hear me when I speak That when my words fail to move you Let my actions scream all my love for you As we write all these new chapters Just know there's no one else I place my anchor under Treading water but it's getting hard To keep my head above the waves Not waving but drowning Not waving but drowning I see your face through all the pain Not waving but drowning I wash away ♪ What are these efforts worth? Will it ever be enough? When perfection seems out of reach And the thought of lasting joy is appearing bleak What do we have that they don't? A sustaining life Threaded through compassion and compromise But there is hope for us When everybody else drifts apart But there is hope for us When everybody else drifts apart Treading water but it's getting hard To keep my head above the waves Not waving but drowning Not waving but drowning I see your face through all the pain Not waving but drowning I wash away
