Quicksand

2010-David Hickey

Quicksand by Natalie Walker

I must have been so stupid
I must have been so out of touch

He must have been so clever
Convincing me that this was really love

Desperate for words, lost in a maze,
It fell apart, I lost my place,
It hurt so bad, I cried for days
Time healed all pain, now I'm okay

How many times can my heart break,
Disillusioned by the thought of flawless love?

Will I ever get there or am I drowning in
Quicksand, waiting on relief to come?

Desperate for words, lost in a maze,
It fell apart, I lost my place,
It hurt so bad, I cried for days
Time healed all pain, now I'm okay

I'll rise from all my sorrow,
Let the sun shine on my face

All alone in comfort,
It's my solitude I will embrace

I will rise from the sorrow
