[Verse 1]
Torn up and tattered, we fly at mid-staff
(So hang us halfway up the highest mast)
Wrecked and abandoned, we have lost all hope
(Our faith was gone as waves swallowed our boat)
All a**urance is gone; our inspiration has run dry
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Miles and miles of water, not a drop could satisfy
[Chorus]
I am sorry for making you think that
(I would let you drown while our boat sinks)
And I am telling you, no, I am promising
That I won't let you down (believe in me)
[Verse 2]
We are so much more than our past
(Too afraid to let go, too brave to loosen our grasp)
The wind in our sails (has been stolen from us)
And we're not moving anytime soon
(The ocean is haunting, unforgiving at night)
So dark and deep, tries to make it seem
That we will never see tomorrow
(we will never see the light of the day)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But my friend I must say
"The sun also rises"
And I'll be there by your side
To greet with open arms
[Chorus]
I am sorry for making you think that
(I would let you drown while our boat sinks)
And I am telling you, no, I am promising
That I won't let you down (believe in me)
[Bridge]
Defeated, but not yet broken
Understated, yet not outspoken
Defeated, but not yet broken
Understated, yet not outspoken
Defeated, but not yet broken
Understated, yet not outspoken
Defeated, but not yet broken
Understated, yet not outspoken
Defeated! Oh, understated!
(Worth more than these shattered bones we carry)
[Chorus]
I am sorry for making you think that
(I would let you drown while our boat sinks)
And I am telling you, no, I am promising
That I won't let you down
