Turn around and pick up the pieces

I, like a rock, sink
Sinking 'till I hit the bottom
The water is much deeper than I thought
Nothing to swim with
Kicking but I keep sinking
lesson that no one could have ever taught

Cause I can almost breathe the air
Right beyond my fingertips
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
One more push and I'll be there
Back where I belong
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces

I see the picture
Blurry but now it's in focus
fairy tale I purchased on my own
Well I finally woke up
Everything is better
chance for me to open up and grow

Cause I can almost breathe the air
Right beyond my fingertips
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
One more push and I'll be there
Back where I belong
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces

Turn around and pick up the pieces
Turn around and pick up the pieces
Turn around and pick up the pieces

Suffocating sinking further almost everyday
(Turn around and pick up the pieces)
Barely treading water knowing I will not give up
I will not give up

I will not give up

Cause I can almost breathe the air
Right beyond my fingertips
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
One more push and I'll be there
Back where I belong
I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
