Dangerous Waters by Adestria Lyrics
[Intro]
These things that weigh you down, don't let them get the best of you because we all, we all, we all have burdens to bear
[Verse 1]
In the beginning it was only what he would drink, until she told him she was going to leave
Yet she forgave him every time; refused to judge him for his crime
[Chorus]
Just run away
Run away from those that hold you down, that hold you down
The longer you tread these waters, the more likely you will drown
So find a way, find a way to shed these burdens that you've kept
You can't expect to move on, until you take the first step
[Verse 2]
Time only made things worse
The violence more commonly occurred
Long sleeves in 100 degrees
Glasses hide the eyes she doesn't want to be seen
Like brush strokes up her wrist, scars paint the tale of when she tried to leave it all behind
She had no more to give
Every night spent with him was another night she might not survive
She had to go, she realized he wasn't worth the bruises and black eyes
She packed her bags and took her keys from the drawer, as he walked through the front door
[Chorus]
Just run away
Run away from those that hold you down, that hold you down
The longer you tread these waters, the more likely you will drown
So find a way, find a way to shed these burdens that you've kept
You can't expect to move on, until you take the first step
[Verse 3]
He saw her bags were packed, when he came home
He rushed at her, she ran for the phone
He lost his mind, she feared for her life, he reached for her arm and she reached for a knife
[Chorus/Bridge]
Just run away
Run away from those that hold you down, that hold you down
The longer you tread these waters, the more likely you will drown
So find a way, find a way to shed these burdens that you've kept
You can't expect to move on, until you take the first step
[Outro]
We all, we all, we all have burdens to bear
These things that weigh you down, don't let them get the best of you because we all, we all, we all have burdens to bear
[Verse 1]
In the beginning it was only what he would drink, until she told him she was going to leave
Yet she forgave him every time; refused to judge him for his crime
[Chorus]
Just run away
Run away from those that hold you down, that hold you down
The longer you tread these waters, the more likely you will drown
So find a way, find a way to shed these burdens that you've kept
You can't expect to move on, until you take the first step
[Verse 2]
Time only made things worse
The violence more commonly occurred
Long sleeves in 100 degrees
Glasses hide the eyes she doesn't want to be seen
Like brush strokes up her wrist, scars paint the tale of when she tried to leave it all behind
She had no more to give
Every night spent with him was another night she might not survive
She had to go, she realized he wasn't worth the bruises and black eyes
She packed her bags and took her keys from the drawer, as he walked through the front door
[Chorus]
Just run away
Run away from those that hold you down, that hold you down
The longer you tread these waters, the more likely you will drown
So find a way, find a way to shed these burdens that you've kept
You can't expect to move on, until you take the first step
[Verse 3]
He saw her bags were packed, when he came home
He rushed at her, she ran for the phone
He lost his mind, she feared for her life, he reached for her arm and she reached for a knife
[Chorus/Bridge]
Just run away
Run away from those that hold you down, that hold you down
The longer you tread these waters, the more likely you will drown
So find a way, find a way to shed these burdens that you've kept
You can't expect to move on, until you take the first step
[Outro]
We all, we all, we all have burdens to bear
