This Is the Sea - Undertow Lyrics

Keeping the world at arm's length
Telling yourself you're strong
This is no time to get upset
Wipe away the tears and carry on
This ain't no time for frailty
You got people relying on you
You told yourself that you're okay so often
You're starting to believe that it's true

It's alright not to be alright
You took your problems down to the river
In a bag too heavy to float
You pushed it away and breathed a minute
But you forgot about the undertow
Your boots pulled you down so quickly
That all alone you soon sank
If you'd only talked about the weight
You'd have a friend at the riverbank

It's alright not to be alright
Talk to someone, stay alive
And if it feels like there's no hope
Like everyone knows something you don't
Don't you believe it, we're all lost souls
Who need each other to stay afloat

It's alright not to be alright
It's alright not to be alright
It's alright if you're not alright
Let's talk about it, let's stay alive
