The Ocean Lyrics

I was afraid of the ocean

So I dove in and drowned

Cause if you stand on the cliff and wait

No one will come around

You're on your own

You're on your own

You're on your own

Descending under the surface now

I see them gathering around

And I know

That all I've got is to sink or swim

Or they will drag me down

I'd rather hit the bottom than lie in between

Surrounded by my demons, lost into the abyss

Cause it's only when you're there, so distant from the top

That you will find the strength to push yourself back up

And I don't care if there's no one up there waiting for me

Cause either way it's there that I'm going

It's buried under the water that I can finally breathe

Here the beating of my heart is deafening

It don't matter what you've got

They're still coming back for more

Just believe me when I say

You're on your own

For every time that I failed

And every choice that I made

Thought I could count on you

And I'm the one to blame

Now every choice that I'll make

And every time that I'll fail

I will make it on my own

I was afraid of the ocean

So I dove in and drowned

Cause if you stand on the cliff and wait

No one will come around

I will make it on my own
