Under the Water

Verse 1 I am a human, I am a woman, Skin and storm and flame. Not always soft or steady, But still worthy of grace. I get tangled in the thunder, Lost inside my head. Sometimes I speak in lightning When I meant to breathe instead. Chorus Please understand When I need my space, I’m not running from your love, I’m just trying to find my place. I’m not trying to hurt you, I’m not closing the door, I just need to come up From under the water once more. Verse 2 I’m emotional, sometimes erratic, A moon pulling oceans in me. Some days I’m fire, some days I’m static, Some days I just need to be. Don’t mistake my silence For a lack of love or care. I’m just learning how to surface When there’s too much in the air. Bridge Hold me with patience, Not with your hands too tight. Let me have the quiet Till I remember my own light. Final Chorus Please understand When I need my space, I’m still full of love, Even when I turn away. I’m not trying to hurt you, I’m not leaving the shore, I just need to come up From under the water once more.
