Sara Bareilles Capsize Me

AlphabetLyrics.com

I wrote a letter to myself
Pretended I was you
I swear my handwriting changed a little
Like it was you who told me what to do.

You said, 'take a deep breath, sweet girl
And take a bird's-eye view
There is nothing out here in the whole wide world
That is ever gonna capsize you'.

I carry so much, but my back don't break
It never lets me down
And I worry so much, but the worry don't change
What I worry about
I can cry, I can cry, I can cry me a river
Deep enough to baptize me
The water's gonna rise till I learn to remember
Nothing's gonna capsize me.

I just rode another wave of it
This one caught me by surprise
After so many years of working hard and getting better
I thought I'd left this part of me behind.

Then I remember we are made to be
As infinite as anything
And the part of me who shudders can be a lighthouse for the others
Who need to find the shore when they are lost at sea
You're just like me.

I carry so much, but my back don't break
It never lets me down
And I worry so much, but the worry don't change
What I worry about
I can cry, I can cry, I can cry me a river
Deep enough to baptize me
The water's gonna rise till I learn to remember
Nothing's gonna capsize me.

Rough waters make
Strong sailors
Rough waters make
Strong sailors.

I can cry me a river
I carry so much
I can cry me a river
I carry so much
I can cry
I carry so much
Nothing's gonna capsize me
I carry so much
Water's gonna rise
Nothing's gonna capsize me.
