Small Mercies - Is This Life? lyrics

Face down in the dirt I've crawled a thousand miles on my own Weathered hands and wounded pride It's hard to find the words I've searched for all my life It's a puzzle with the missing piece inside Then the waves began to swell And I'm going under And the world came crashing down You were the hand of the ocean, that pulled me to the shore You were the heart of the distance, the love that broke the storm You were the heat of evening, the arms that kept me warm Now is this life I am living now you've gone? Broken and deserted Forgiven no, I have not earnt it yet Too many ghosts still haunt your mind Innocent still learning This puzzle yeah, I'm still searching for The missing piece that makes things right Then the waves began to swell And I'm going under And the world came crashing down You were the hand of the ocean, that pulled me to the shore You were the heart of the distance, the love that broke the storm You were the heat of evening, the arms that kept me warm Now is this life I am living now you've gone? What are we fighting for? Broken and deserted Forgiven no, I have not earnt it yet I have not earnt it yet
