just looking for someone to please You&#039;ll never admit when you grow tired of it, but you do You won&#039;t listen to me when I try to tell you the truth Way down deep where the honesty grows Is the part that we try to keep as our own I wish that you would show me who you are when you let it all go I will never leave you standing alone in muddy water Standin at the bottom and you can&#039;t seem to swim to the top Can&#039;t see the hand reaching out there to you in the dark So lost in the mess that the depth you possess weighs you down So look for the light cause you know it&#039;s the only way out Way down deep where the honesty grows Is the part that we try to keep as our own I wish that you would show me who you are when you let it all go I will never leave you standing alone in muddy water Muddy water\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:640px;margin:5px auto;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ropPQmTQ4Zw\" target=\"_blank\">Watch this video on
