Treading Water

You’re not my mother
You’re not my sister
You’re not my best friend

You’re not my teacher
You’re not my brother
You’re not my boyfriend

CHORUS:
Have to give up everything I want to make it
I’ve been treading water here for years
If I crawl out this eggshell, will you give me life or take it?
All I’ve got is everything to give
Oh….

You’re not my keeper
Just ‘cause I’m little
Doesn’t mean I’m dumb

Thanks for the lecture
It’s not what I came for
Why are you so stunned?

CHORUS

Bridge:
In this life we know nothing at all
In this dream where we think we’ll never fall
Away...

You are my mother
You are my sister
You are my best friend

Thanks for your courage
Thanks for your patience
Thanks for your good sense

CHORUS
