intro: turn around and pick up the pieces

verse 1: i, like a rock, sink sinking 'til i hit the bottom the water is
much deeper than i thought nothing to swim with kicking but i keep
sinking a lesson that no one could have ever taught

chorus: 'cause i can almost breathe the air right beyond my finger tips
i'll turn around and pick up the pieces one more push and i'll be there
back where i belong i'll turn around and pick up the pieces

verse 2: i see the picture blurry but now it's in focus a fairy tale i
purchased on my own i finally woke up everything is better a chance for
me to open up and grow

repeat chorus

bridge: suffocating sinking further almost everyday barely treading water
knowing i will not give up i will not give up

repeat chorus
