I made you the captain of my ship
But you made me buy the boat
I handed you the steering wheel
But you lost us deep in a deep blue ocean
Nowhere land
Without a path or a destination
I had to jump off
And swim in my own direction
I left all that hurt and pain behind
But it seems like anytime you try to reach me
You bring it all along with you
Do I need to buy you another ship to sail to me
Give you a cabin and a crew that they may guide you
Hand you a life jacket that you may never drown?
Less you be lost once more
Still bringing along the pain and hurt I have tried ever so hard to get rid of
I am living in my own land where I found my way to
I have built me a shelter and provided for me
I am never lost
Just lost when I think about you
Lost in thoughts of your thoughts
Lost in thinking that your direction will ever lead you to me
In a way that will stop all the hurt and pain
But you always bring it along with you
So here we are never knowing how to do this
Where to now?
