Swallowed in the sea

This song strikes a chord with me. It could be written about the way I am in a relationship. I am the "you" in this song. I am not sure I like that at all...

Amd if it wasn't for Adam, I would be swallowed in the sea, but sometimes he is the one who pushes me in there. I know he doesn't mean to - I am a bit full on, needy, clingy - call it what you will. He is understanding though, and when I float out far enough, do enough wrong things that are, I guess, cries for help, he reels me in next to him - where I belong.

So I am lucky to have him. I probably don't deserve him. I probably need him more than I should. Messy...

Swallowed In The Sea - Coldplay
You cut me down a tree
And brought it back to me
And that's what made me see
Where I was going wrong

You put me on a shelf
And kept me for yourself
I can only blame myself
You can only blame me

And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well that's where I belong
And you belong with me

And I could write it down
And spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
or swallowed in the sea

You put me on a line
And hung me out to dry
And darling, that's when I
decided to go see

You cut me down to size
And opened up my eyes
Made me realize
What I could not see

And I could write a book
The one they'll say that shook
The world and then it took
It took it back from me

And I could write it down
And spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
And you'll come back to me
Not swallowed in the sea

And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well that's where I belong
And you belong with me

The streets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me

Oh, what good is it to live
With nothing left to give
Forget, but not forgive
Not loving all you see

All the streets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea

You belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
Yeah, you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea

Hey Jo,

Thanks so much for your comments in my posts.. I really appreciate you taking the time to bother..

I know what you mean about being full-on, i was exactly the same way with my ex.. But at least your hubby knows what's going on with you and you are getting help.. And you DO deserve him so much, don't ever think you don't..

Anyway, i don't really know what to say, just take care and keep your chin up..

Love Stace..xxx
