lyrics

This Sunken Ship Has Higher Hopes Than I Do

Sometimes the blue sky
Distracts me from the pain
Sometimes I break down
When it starts to rain
This life it keeps my
My heart on the edge
I don’t know how to handle myself
Or if i’ll last to the end

It’s not always easy
But its gotta be worth it
When the waves overthrow me
It’s not so perfect

Not a day goes by where
They ask if I’m alright
I know they think
I’m completely fine
Everyone has their own problems in this life
I wish you’d know
How dead am I inside
Don’t my eyes give it away
Or are we just so numb to this pain

It’s not always easy
But its gonna be worth it
When the waves overthrow me its not so perfect
But a captain never abandons their ship
So when its time I’ll sink down
Theres no use in fighting
Use in fighting it

This sunken ship has higher hopes than I do
This sunken ship has higher hopes than I do
This sunken ship has higher hopes than I do
This sunken ship has higher hopes than I do

It’s not always easy
But it’s gonna be worth it
When the waves overthrow me its not so perfect
But a captain never abandons their ship
So when its time i’ll sink down
Theres no use in fighting
Use in fighting it

It’s not always easy
But its gonna be worth it
When the waves overthrow me its not so perfect
But a captain never abandons their ship
So when its time i’ll sink down
Theres no use in fighting
Use in fighting it
