When your best isn’t good enough
When you tried all you can
When you gave it everything but you still feel like a failure,
Sometimes when you’re drowning,
You don’t want to be saved.
When they leave,
When you love them,
When you’re feeling upset,
Sometimes when you’re drowning,
You don’t want to be saved.
When you see other people
Living the life you want to lead,
When you’re jealous of people you’ve never even seen
Sometimes when you’re drowning,
You don’t want to be saved.
But think of your favourite song,
Your favourite person, food, smell, toy,
Think of your family,
Even though sometimes they’re wrong,
Sometimes when you’re drowning and you don’t want to be saved,
The one you love will do it anyway.
They will be there ,
Through thick and thin,
Because you’re there for them
And they are the same.
So when you have a bad day,
And it feels like your falling and there’s no end,
Just remember there will always be a person
You can call home.
