lighthouse

you were my lifeline when I went out to sea 

the waves were pulling me under 

and I could barely breathe 

but now 

you're on the shore 

you cut the rope 

and I'm still out here 

(I hate you in all of your kindness 

I hate myself for my weakness) 

keep me in your light a little while longer 

I don't want to be lost 

 again 

it's not what I need 

but it's all that I want 

still not in the clear
