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 **** will I get out
If he's gone
