Shaky

If I could be stronger
And if you were just older
We might last this out longer
But the task just gets harder

And my face turned to red
From drinking all that dead water
And then again when you said
That I was my mother's daughter

Shaky when he comes to me
Shaky but I believe
There are better things for me
Shaky and I'm on my knees

If my legs were just longer
They might carry us further
But we waited too long
And so the task just gets harder

And the thoughts that come in
They come on stronger and stronger
And it takes all of me
To just stay out of the water

Shaky when I came to be
When they left, they left me in pieces
Shaky, but I believe
When you left, you left for a reason
