"Don't Let Me Drown" lyrics
Don't let me drown in the darkest days
Burdens I carry, I can't escape
Take all the troubles and pain away
Hoping and praying for better days
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me
I'm tired of feeling so defeated
Tired of being
Tired of breathing
Treading water like a lab
Pup on a morning hunt during duck season
But when it's sink-or-swim, I seem to get my Michael Phelps on
So, maybe, God me in this boat with holes
'Cause He knows that I'll paddle on
Ride the rapids
Hit the rocks
Never taking no pitstop
Won't jump ship, if the ship rocks
I ain't gonna lie, though
"Acting like I'm fine while I'm dying inside" is a line I never thought I'd walk
But as a dad I gladly do that hell
I even bought the chalk
Don't let me drown in the darkest days
Burdens I carry, I can't escape
Take all the troubles and pain away
Hoping and praying for better days
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me
God, throw me a life vest
My life's a mess
I'll confess
Online
I know I'm looking happy, but I'm underpaid and over-stressed
I know I'm blessed
For all I've gained, but forget the fame
I want dad back
I want my grandpa and my sister back
So many folks gone that I miss so bad
So, tell me, how can I outrun the past, when the shit keeps happening?
You give Your hardest battles to Your strongest soldiers
But my shoulders getting paper-thin
And I ain't the one to complain
I just been going through things
And I needed to take a moment and vent
Now that it's off my chest
I'm 'a keep them prayers going up like the rent
Don't let me drown in the darkest days
Burdens I carry, I can't escape
Take all the troubles and pain away
Hoping and praying for better days
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me
I'm tired of feeling so defeated
So defeated
God, throw me a life vest
Throw me a life vest
Throw me a life vest
Tired of being
Tired of breathing
Tired of breathing
Underpaid and over-stressed
I'm tired of feeling so defeated
So defeated
So defeated
And the shit keeps happening
Shit keeps happening
Tired of being
Tired of breathing
God, throw me a life vest
Don't let me drown in the darkest days
Burdens I carry, I can't escape
Take all the troubles and pain away
Hoping and praying for better days
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me drown
Burdens I carry, I can't escape
Take all the troubles and pain away
Hoping and praying for better days
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me
I'm tired of feeling so defeated
Tired of being
Tired of breathing
Treading water like a lab
Pup on a morning hunt during duck season
But when it's sink-or-swim, I seem to get my Michael Phelps on
So, maybe, God me in this boat with holes
'Cause He knows that I'll paddle on
Ride the rapids
Hit the rocks
Never taking no pitstop
Won't jump ship, if the ship rocks
I ain't gonna lie, though
"Acting like I'm fine while I'm dying inside" is a line I never thought I'd walk
But as a dad I gladly do that hell
I even bought the chalk
Don't let me drown in the darkest days
Burdens I carry, I can't escape
Take all the troubles and pain away
Hoping and praying for better days
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me
God, throw me a life vest
My life's a mess

Throw me a life vest
Throw me a life vest
Tired of being
Tired of breathing
Tired of breathing
Underpaid and over-stressed
I'm tired of feeling so defeated
So defeated
So defeated
And the shit keeps happening
Shit keeps happening
Tired of being
Tired of breathing
God, throw me a life vest
Don't let me drown in the darkest days
Burdens I carry, I can't escape
Take all the troubles and pain away
Hoping and praying for better days
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me drown
