On Your Shore Lyrics - Charlotte Martin

I dig my heels into the dirt 'cause this one's gonna hurt 

Won't let the waves wash me away, is what I always pray 

In my heart I know you couldn't see in the dark 

Or find your way through me 

Now I'm alone, my hands are numb, how do I carry on? 

And at the turn of the tide I feel this part of me die 

Am I washed on your shore and barely alive? 

Now I'm held hostage in my head with every word you said 

God, all those lessons in my past 

I spit them out so fast I see myself 

With you I act so small, see myself with you I always crawl 

So someone leave a raft for me, the water's getting deep 

At the turn of the tide I feel this part of me die 

Am I washed on your shore and barely alive? 

Here I am in my insecurity 

Here I am with my damaged dignity 

Here I am, you're pulling me in too deep 

Here I am 

Here I am, I'm in the mercy seat 

Here I am, running without my feet 

Here I am, oh, what's come over me 

Here I am 

When I was melting in your hand, you didn't understand 

You slip through me like grains of sand, you still don't understand 

Overboard, I'm thrown out to see what you are and what I mean to me 

But I will always have my dream where you can swim to me 

At the turn of the tide I feel this part of me die 

I've been on your shore before and it was no waste of time 

Over my head and in my mind 

Am I washed on your shore and barely alive? 

Am I washed on your shore and barely alive?
