Shallow

T's cool not to care.
If you feel something don't
Let them know it's there.
They just wanna feel good.
Forget doing what you should.
Through their eyes you're either
Too much or not enough.
Maybe they'll care,
But not when you need them to.

The world loves shallow people
'cause they don't know how to swim.
The world loves the fakes,
That's who takes the win.
The world loves shallow people
'cause they don't wanna drown in the deep.
The world loves the fakes,
That's who they like to keep.

But wait, let me speak!
Cause a riptide!
Head dive right into the current.
Pull them out to sea. Capsize.
Sink right in and let the waters rise.
Who we are is not who we wanna be
And if we are then we're not who we think we are.

I saw your soul today.
I swooped in and picked it up,
All the pieces that needed mending,
All the parts you thought were hated,
I'm here to tell you it's not true.
Every bit of every lie and
Heartbreak you've accompanied,
Every place that tears have flooded,
I love them. I love them to pieces,
Darling, it's okay.

We can try to be real and
Remember how to feel.
We can live off-script.
Rewrite the end.
Try to convince them that they
Can still see underwater.
All they have to do is close their mouths.
Take a breath, it's not a threat!
Come on down, you won't drown!
Trust me now! Trust me now, you won't drown!
