surrender

(album: a lighter shade of blue - 2022)

Surrender, hmm
Surrender, hmm

I can make a list, a million things I need to fix
I make everyone crazy, is it something about me?
I keep tightening my grip, but I aim so much I miss
And I'm fighting the river

When I try to hold it all together
But it's just not getting better

Surrender, hmm
Surrender, hmm

It's breaking my heart, 'cause you don't understand
Why so much is out of my hands, I have to remember
Surrender
Oh, I keep learning the hard way
Oh, keep forgetting how to pray
Someone tell me I'm okay

I climbed a mountain, I could not resist
And I hit bottom at the top of it
I was broken wide open

There's a freedom in the free fall
Wanna scream, but I whisper

Surrender, hmm
Surrender, oh
Oh, surrender
I've got to remember, ooh

Surrender hmm
