Oyster Fantasy
Verse one
I live in a fantasy where the world is my oyster.
I walk along the sand and pretend I'm a bluebird,
But I'm just a sparrow in this mean world
Waiting to get blown over.
Verse two
I'm one of those girls who wears her heart on her sleeve,
But sharks in the water would rather see me bleed.
As i try to cling to my sanity

Try to make myself feel better but i just end up going numb.
Self help books line my library walls.
I sometimes use them for door stoppers because...
Chorus
There's no way I can get through this by myself.

Chorus
There's not way i can get through this by myself,
All alone in a hole i dug without help.
Broken heart and my hands are tied,
But You wiped away every tear that i cried.
Verse five
We've all got our problems.
Who's to say if we even could solve them.
When I'm feeling lost beyond hope,
I look up to the stars
And i know I'm not alone.
