[Verse 1]
I'm trying to [?]
And learn to understand [?] in greatness
The heartache, the mistakes
Are a part of what it takes to [?]
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you wanna play the part
But living up on it gets hard
And so I'll be the one to show you
That pain defines you
(The pain defines you)
[Chorus]
The river's flowing over me
I feel it coming underneath
So why do I feel safe?
(when there's no escaping)
Your silence is deafening
When help is all I need
Why do I feel safe?
Cuz it's the only way
[Verse 2]
You're [?] forgotten
Even though they're trying to leave behind this
Misguided, [?]
You found yourself alone inside the darkness
[Pre-Chorus]
It's hard to leave the ones you love
But it's a part of growing up
And so I'll be the one to show you
That pain defines you
(The pain defines you)
[Chorus]
The river's flowing over me
I feel it coming underneath
So why do I feel safe?
(when there's no escaping)
Your silence is deafening
When help is all I need
Why do I feel safe?
Cuz it's the only way
[Bridge]
I wanted to be someone who never let you down (let you down)
But it's [?], [?] never tried at all
[Outro-Chorus]
The river's flowing over me
I feel it coming underneath
So why do I feel safe?
When there's no escaping
The river's flowing over me
I feel it coming underneath
So why do I feel safe?
(when there's no escaping)
Your silence is deafening
When help is all I need
Why do I feel safe?
Cuz it's the only way
[Outro]
Cuz it's the only way (it's the only way)
It's the only way
When there's no escaping
