There ain't no gold in this river
That I've been washin' my hands in forever
I know there is hope in these waters
But I can't bring myself to swim
There ain't no gold in this river
That I've been washin' my hands in forever
I know there is hope in these waters
But I can't bring myself to swim
When I am drowning in this silence
Baby, let me in
[Chorus]
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose what I chose to do
So go easy on me
[Verse 2]
There ain't no room for things to change
When we are both so deeply stuck in our ways
You can't deny how hard I have tried
I changed who I was to put you both first
But now I give up
[Chorus]
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
Had no time to choose what I chose to do
So go easy on me
[Bridge]
I had good intentions
And the highest hopes
But I know right now
It probably doesn't even show
[Chorus]
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
I didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose what I chose to do
So go easy on me
Daar is geen goud in hierdie rivier nie
Dat ek my hande vir altyd gewas het
Ek weet daar is hoop in hierdie waters
Maar ek kan myself nie laat swem nie
As ek verdrink in hierdie stilte
Baba, laat my in
[Koor]
Gaan sag oor my, skat
Ek was nog 'n kind
Het nie kans gekry nie
Voel die wêreld om my
Ek het nie tyd gehad om te kies wat ek wil doen nie
So gaan sag oor my
[Vers 2]
Daar is geen ruimte vir dinge om te verander nie
As ons albei so diep in ons maniere vas is
U kan nie ontken hoe hard ek probeer het nie
Ek het verander wie ek was om julle altwee eerste te stel
Maar nou gee ek op
[Koor]
Gaan sag oor my, skat
Ek was nog 'n kind
Het nie kans gekry nie
Voel die wêreld om my
Ek het nie tyd gehad om te kies wat ek wil doen nie
So gaan sag oor my
[Brug]
Ek het goeie bedoelings gehad
En die hoogste hoop
Maar ek weet nou
Dit wys waarskynlik nie eers nie
[Koor]
Gaan sag oor my, skat
Ek was nog 'n kind
Ek het nie die kans gekry nie
Voel die wêreld om my
Ek het nie tyd gehad om te kies wat ek wil doen nie
So gaan sag oor my
