Quicksand lyrics

Gonna write a letter to my baby

and this is what I'm gonna say.

On second thought, I think I'll take the time

to say it to her face.

I can't eat, can't sleep.

I feel I'm going down for the last time.

I'm sinking in your sea of insecurity, yeah.

And do I love you? Yes, I do.

But I love my own life too.

Now I lay here holding your hand.

I can't help but feel 

that you don't understand.

The tighter you hold on,

the more that it's feeling like quicksand.

Our fate is written in the stars,

written on your face.

Now you're holding too tight to my heart.

It's gonna burst and leave an empty space, yeah.

Do I love you? Yes, I do.

But I love my own life too.

As I lay here holding your hand,

I can't help but feel 

that you don't understand.

The tighter you hold on,

the more that it's feeling like quicksand,

quicksand.

Oh, yeah.

And do I love you? Yes, I do.

But I love my own life too, yeah.

Well, I lay here holding your hand.

I can't help but feel 

that you don't understand.

The tighter you hold on,

the more that it's feeling like quicksand,

(quicksand).

And I can't help but feel 

that you don't understand.

Oh, the more that it's feeling like quicksand,

quicksand.
