Stranded- from STRANDED EP

Intro

(Oh... oh...)

Fading light... just me now

Verse

Daddy's chair sits empty by the fire

His laugh gone quiet, no more stories told

I held his hand as the machines went silent

Now the house feels cold, like winter's hold

Poured the whiskey, chased the pain away

But it don't fill the hole he left behind

Nights I drive those backroads, screaming at the sky

Why'd you have to go and leave me blind?

Chorus

Stranded, stranded in my head

Waves crash hard, pulling me under

Lost my anchor, now I'm sinking slow

Stranded, yeah, nowhere to go

(Oh... stranded)

Heart's a wreck, can't find my way back home

Verse

She packed her bags while I was still grieving

Said the love we had just turned to dust

Papers signed in the lawyer's cold office

Now the bed's too big, echoes of us

Kids ask why Mommy don't come around

I smile through tears, say it'll be fine

But inside I'm breaking, pieces on the floor

Chasing shadows, running out of time

Chorus

Stranded, stranded in my head

Waves crash hard, pulling me under

Lost my anchor, now I'm sinking slow

Stranded, yeah, nowhere to go

(Oh... stranded)

Heart's a wreck, can't find my way back home

Bridge

Pills on the table, bottle in my hand

One more breath, then let it all fade out

Mirror shows a stranger, eyes hollow and red

Whisper to myself, "This is what it's about?"

Then I see his face, hear her voice so clear

Daddy saying, "Son, hold on tight"

She'd say, "Baby, storms don't last forever"

Tears fall heavy, but I drop the fight

Chorus

Stranded, stranded... but maybe not

Waves crash hard, but I'll learn to swim

Lost my anchor, but I'll find my feet

Stranded, yeah... it'll be okay

(Oh... it'll be okay)

Heart's still beating, gonna make it home

Outro

(Okay... okay...)

Fading light... but dawn's coming slow

Yeah, it'll be... okay
