Go ahead and have that long cry
It will feel good emptying your heart
You may not believe how that could be
But crying like that says how you once loved me

It’s gotta’ be the slowest heartbreak ever
It wasn’t just the waters risin’
It’s how long they took to recede
It was an old and a new horizon

If I had the nerve
I’d sing a song without any fear
I just want to make my voice crack
It’s always the loser the audience wants to hear

I didn’t have to walk to the ocean with you
It was something we always lived with
It was my fault mostly
Watching you cry reminds me it’s not a myth

You’re still caring enough to leave that way
Being sad instead of mad is the way to go
It makes me think of forgiving somebody
You inspired my heart enough to make it so

If I had the nerve
I’d stand outside and serenade your door
That used to be the way to open your heart
Now it’s somebody you don’t want to see no more
