I was in the quicksand
From the moment we began
You would never hold my hand
And still I always thought of you
As the one to turn to
If you ever needed a hand
So I don't understand
Why you never let me in
No I don't understand
Why you leave me in quicksand
You wondered off without a cause
And let yourself go and get lost
To find your own quicksand
And you cried out and I reached in
To pull you out and love again
Because I am your friend
So I don't understand
Why you only help yourself
No I don't understand
Why you leave me in quicksand
It's getting hard to think of you
As the girl i never knew
I wish you weren't real
I hope your happy i wish the best
I pray you have a peaceful rest
I get you off my chest
I have to understand
That this could be my chance
To use my own to hands
And pull myself out of the sand.
