Whirlpool

Whirlpool of salt for you
I don't owe you tears of blue
You've slipped past me before
I won't let you fly once more

My tree is dying on me again
Thought I'd handled every care
My need for warmth is dying out
A part of me says walk the line

It took a while on the dark side
I've punched some walls, but I'm alright
I caught some butterflies
Drove a couple miles
Killed the vibe, held my head high
Another day, another red flag
Need to connect but all I know is fight
I used to know my side, forgot I was alive
I'm not right, just a little wild

I still learn, I still crawl
I still trip, sometimes fall
I'm a woman, I'm a kid
Open heart with no lid
I will hurt, I will bruise
I will win sometimes lose
No matter what it takes
I will be there someday

Closing the door feels soon
The deepest cut right in the middle of June
Impossible to read
His every fear became my reason to breathe

It took a while on the dark side
I've punched some walls, but they're alright
I caught some butterflies
Drove a couple miles
Killed the vibe, held my head high
Another day, another jet lag
Need to connect but all I know is fight
I used to know your side, forgot I was alive
I'm not right, just a little wild

I still learn, I still crawl
I still trip, sometimes fall
I'm a woman, I'm a kid
Open heart with no lid
I will hurt, I will bruise
I will win sometimes lose
No matter what it takes
I will be there someday
