My love is drowning,
In this vast sea of pain.
A hand shot up in the air,
Gurgled pleas of help.

If only I could swim
To save you from sinking.
If only I could do anything,
I would,
But I couldn't.

If only I could be the one
To cry the tears you spill at night.
When the world was quiet
And everyone's unaware,
I wish it was my heart breaking instead.

Those beautiful eyes
Don't deserve those tears.
Your lips
Don't deserve silent screams.
Your knees
Don't deserve to fall.

Your heart, my angel,
Deserves rest.
Your lips
Deserve the happiest smile.
Your voice
Deserves your most beautiful laugh.

You deserve the best things in the world.
So if only your distress could be mine,
I would take it all, only to see you saved
And waving brightly on the shore again.
