Shallow letra

I walk around everyday
With my head above the darkness
The storm below
I just can't face it
So I don't

You say I don't care at all
But if you only knew
At night all the sleep I lose
Over what I can't change

You don't understand that this world's too cold
And my skin's not thick
It's too thin
In an ocean that's as big as this
It's hard to stay afloat, not sink
I think I might just sink

So I need to think shallow thoughts
So that I don't fall too deep
In water I can't tame
'Cos that's the only way I know
How to stay breathing
And keep myself from feeling
Every single blow that comes my way
I just stay in the shallow

The world can be a scary place
And it can tear you up if you let it
So I had to learn to forget it the hard way

Oh, you don't understand that this world's too cold
And my skin's not thick
It's too thin
In an ocean that's as big as this
It's hard to stay afloat, not sink
I think I might just sink

So I need to think shallow thoughts
So that I don't fall too deep
In water I can't tame
'Cos that's the only way that I know
How to stay breathing
And keep myself from feeling
Every single blow that comes my way
I just stay in the shallow

Need to think shallow thoughts
So that I don't fall too deep
In water I can't tame
'Cos that's the only way I know
How to stay breathing
And keep myself from feeling
Every single blow that comes my way
I just stay in the shallow

Need to think shallow thoughts
So that I don't fall too deep
In water I can't tame
'Cos that's the only way I know
How to stay breathing
And keep myself from feeling
Every single blow that comes my way

So I need to think shallow thoughts
So that I don't fall too deep
In water I can't tame
'Cos that's the only way I know
How to stay breathing
And keep myself from feeling
Every single blow that comes my way
I just stay in the shallow
