You built me a ship with your own two hands Which I over analyzed to try and understand To see things better, I used your magnifying glass But recklessly, I burned holes in the mast With nothing left to hold up the sails I had to find a new way to wander my trails So I've left the boat, the water, and theΒ cold, rocking sea To continue on foot, towards a much better me As it turns out, I wasn't meant for the skies Nor for the ocean, and all of its tides Because I was known for getting too high Or for getting too lost, with no safety in sight But finally I'm grounded, satisfied at worst Comfortable in my surroundings, it feels like a first I'm walking towards something, instead of floating around I'm carrying tunes instead of just making sound And though it's no longer here for this part of my trip I wanted to thank you for building a ship
You may not be apart of my life anymore, and the time you were may have been relatively short (due to my own faults), but you sparked something new inside of me and I am growing because of it.
