Verse 1 I’ve lived like I was finished Like the ending already came Carried every wrong decision Like a permanent name I learned how not to ask for mercy Learned how not to need I told myself I was the problem You wouldn’t want to see Pre-Chorus I stopped praying for forgiveness Didn’t think I was allowed Chorus I’m standing at the water With a lifetime in my chest Every sin I couldn’t outrun Every truth I never said I don’t come here clean I don’t come here brave I just don’t know where else To lay this weight Verse 2 I thought love was something earned By being less than wrong I thought grace was for the faithful For the ones who didn’t cross the line But I’ve crossed it more than once I’ve worn the mark So I kept my distance from the water And learned to love the dark Hook I don’t deserve this I never did I don’t deserve this Still You let me in Pre-Chorus If I step in, will You hold me Or will I disappear Chorus I’m standing at the water Afraid to step inside ‘Cause what if You see all of me And decide That I’ve crossed every line That I’m too much to save That mercy has a limit And I’ve reached the edge Verse 3 The water slips around me Like arms I don’t deserve Every fear I’ve been carrying Starts to loosen, starts to burn I fall into the current I stop trying to stand And for the first time in my life I’m not holding my own hand Bridge They said I had to be worthy Had to clean myself first But I was out of strength And I was out of words So I let myself go under Let the truth rush in If I’m saved, it won’t be because Of who I’ve been Final Chorus I went under the water With nothing left to prove And when I broke the surface All I knew was truth No one’s ever been good enough No one ever was We don’t rise by being worthy We rise by love Outro I didn’t earn Your arms around me I just finally let them hold
