The Ocean

You told me that drunk words were sober thoughts So naturally I believed you when you said you loved me Even though I smelt liquor on your breath My biggest mistake wasn't falling into that ocean with you But was believing you could swim See I knew from the first moment I'd drown if I ever went in I thought you'd be better than me at saving yourself I thought one of us would make it out alive But I realize now you were dead all a long You were a lifeless man sinking to the bottom of the never-ending ocean And I was a girl, wide-eyed and ready, watching you fall Wondering to myself, how the fuck will I get out If he's gone
