She was a shipwreck
Her body couldn’t handle
The sorrowful sea
And board by board
The tide took her away
From me

In you, I trust
but leave you, I must
this is all just too much
you left me with my heart to clutch
My insides tumble
your name, I mumble
You left me like a wreck
and got me like what the heck?
Expectations, *expectations, expectations
You were supposed to be my inspiration
but all you ever was my expectation
Now leave you, I must
In you, I no longer trust
You broke it with your own hands
for you only show up with demands
I was never a friend to you
because you're only here when YOU feel blue
You kept trying to convince me that it's true
that you actually care
but here I am saying "It's not fair."
because I can't say no to that look on your face
You always change the pace
I guess it's time
I no longer believe that this will ever sublime

Leave you, I must
*In you, I no longer trust

What do I say when the whole world is floating away from me?
How do I tell you I'm dying a piece at a time?
Everything hurts and casts shadows across my heart,
But I keep a smile on my face.
I can't find a way to tell you I cry myself to sleep
And wake up exhausted from the nightmares.
So I smile.

Why do I even miss you?
We barely talked anymore...
I hid things from you,
Just as you did from me.
We played a game,
Let's pretend nothing hurts.
So that's how I left it, pretending,
Until you were far enough away to cry.
So it's too late to hug you,
Too late to punch you.
So I'll cry.

I just want to sleep.
A long nap through the pain.
I just want it to stop.
The tears and the anger,
They're overwhelming.
I can't do it.
I need to sleep.

I'm tired.
Tired of the pain.
Pain I just can't control.
Control is slipping from my grasp.
Heading for air, for love.
Love abandoning me.
