Sinking

I want to be new
Let go yesterday
And hold on to whatever comes my way
I claim to be true

You want yesterday
You hold your ground no matter what you say
You'll seem to bring me down at any price
If you were in my shoes you'd think about it twice

Because I'm sinking
Sinking to a place I've never been before
Hoping that I won't be here too long
Sinking to a place I've never been before

A million thoughts in one night can't be wrong
Night time brings the blue
Daylight brings the joy
And could it be that I've destroyed the boy

I want peace for you
For a little boy
And for the ones who's wisdom you employ
They seem to criticize at any price
If they were in my shoes they'd think about it twice
