If I said forever I didn't mean right now
If I knew how to love, then I would show you how
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink
And you can lead me to quicksand, but you can't make me sink

A bottomless pit of emotions and lies
Are nothing more than your weak alibies
Another mess I should have left alone
Now you can see why my heart's made of stone
I tried to dive in with my head held high
I'd let you see through the mirror, past the lie
I'd kill for a chance to be in love again
But I can't get out of the pit I am in

If I said forever I didn't mean right now
If I knew how to love, then I would show you how
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink
And you can lead me to quicksand, but you can't make me sink

My harshest lessons I learn on my own
No matter what's on the paths you have shown
I have to work my way out all alone
I have to show myself I am grown
I have to become better than I've been
I have to keep from circling again

I can't let myself go down that path again
I can't let myself go on hurting my friends
I've been trapped in this way for far too long
Another day and I might be long gone...

If I said forever, I didn't mean right now
If I knew how to love you, I'd let you see how
You can leave me alone and then I can think
But leave me in quicksand and you know I will sink.
