Sinking lyrics

by Jars Of Clay

It's not my problem anymore
You see it never really was
So you can stop caring as you call it
And I'll be fine right here

You see that I can play a pretty convincing role
So I don't need you
I don't think I need you

But you see through my forever lies
And you are not believing
And I see in your forever eyes
That you are forever healing

You can't hear what I'm not saying
And I can hold out long enough
Treading water, I keep from sinking
Cause I'm not one for reaching

You see that I can play a pretty convincing role
So I don't need you
I don't think I need you

But you see through my forever lies
And you are not believing
And I see in your forever eyes
That you are forever healing

Deny myself, deny my heart
Deny your hand, deny your hand
Oh but you offered me eternity, but why should I buy that

You see that I can play a pretty convincing role
So I don't need you
I don't think I need you
