Do not measure my heart
in the abundance of your tears
Do not estimate your pain
in reckless fears

For you say you know my story
but you are not even close
Tragedy and heartache is not glory
and it is not guaranteed how it goes

Deep sands that slip
into a saltwater bay
where you lost your grip
on a fairytale day

Yet I stand in the water fine
this is where I swim and live
waves roll in and out all the time
Life is always take and give

Set your self firm
and dance
Hold your ground
and take a chance

Let your days flow
in the tempo and beat
watch me and move
to the rhythm of your feet
