wading into life

wading deeper into life,

baring all pain and strife,

not willing to settle for defeat,

disappointment lapping at my feet.

running, wading, away from this,

I try to escape it, evade the hits,

I know that only I can fix,

I can change it, and smile again.

the one thing I love is fading fast,

I'll try to recover and make it last.

I will fight, and kick and bite and shove,

to show you that you're the one that I love.

running, wading, away from this,

I try to escape it, evade the hits,

I know that only I can fix,

I can change it, and smile again.

I can make it my own, 

I can take it alone,

I don't have to do this

he will help me through this.

running, wading, away from this,

I try to escape it, evade the hits,

I know that only I can fix,

I can change it, and smile again.

running, wading, away from this,

I try to escape it, he takes the hits,

I know that together we can fix,

we can change it, and smile again.
