Tia Maria - Treading Water

Swimming in this state of confusion
In undercurrents she may lose him
Love has only been unkind
In the backwash of her mind

Feelings washing in and out
Drowning in a pool of doubt
Seems there is no way to filter
Past hurts that still haunt her

Treading water hard she tries
To believe there are no lies
Drifting to a place unarmed
In this sea of love becalmed

Tia Maria
