by the lake

mmm

da da da

mmmm

oooh

mmm

da da da

i like to take my lantern to the nearest pond

where me, myself, and i go to bond

i like to sit there in the stillness of the night

wrapping myself up real tight

in a worn out cardigan

praying i don't break my heart again

cause if this doesn't go as planned

i may just never find myself a man

you were different, least you could have been

then i saw you with mckenna and i may have binged

on more than just alcohol when i left that party

you made leaving me your new favorite hobby

by the lake is where my heart breaks

i'm a poet to the wind, a writer to my mind

i miss feeling alive

should i be so open to leaving you?

i thought you grow through what you go through

guess that wasn't in the cards for us

i didn't think it was going to be this tough

and i lit a candle as i walked a cobblestone path

nearly drowned myself in my own bath

i wish to escape this box i put myself in

i’d only be drawing closer to sin

but Jesus is my Lord and Savior

He always helps me out with my behavior

i lean on Him to help me out

with God, i'm surviving this drought

you were different, least you could have been

then i saw you with mckenna and i may have binged

on more than just alcohol when i left that party

you made leaving me your new favorite hobby

by the lake is where my heart breaks

i'm a poet to the wind, a writer to my mind

i miss feeling alive

should i be so open to leaving you?

i thought you grow through what you go through

guess that wasn't in the cards for us

i didn't think it was going to be this tough

i retreated back to my home

started journaling how I won't be alone

i just have to sit in the discomfort for a little while longer

it'll only make me stronger

you were different, least you could have been

then i saw you with mckenna and i may have binged

on more than just alcohol when i left that party

you made leaving me your new favorite hobby

by the lake is where my heart breaks

i'm a poet to the wind, a writer to my mind

i miss feeling alive

should i be so open to leaving you?

i thought you grow through what you go through

guess that wasn't in the cards for us

i didn't think it was going to be this tough
