and i hope you’ll take care of yourself you deserve a lot more than the torments you carry like a cloud if only you knew how badly i wished i could sail through every storm for you
i would’ve faced the crashing waves and treaded even in the pain of holding your head above water because i wanted you to get the chance to do better for yourself
but what’s the use if i drown just trying to make you see you’re worth more than the people who pushed you overboard and watched you descend so deep into yourself you didn’t know where the ocean ended and you began
and you try to hide the water trapped in your lungs but i can still see it in your eyes
i know you pushed me away because you felt like an anchor sinking and didn’t want to take me down with you but you never even bothered to ask if i could swim
always saying i'm so happy but you never seem to notice how sad you make me feel i can't keep struggling to strap a lifejacket on the back of someone who doesn't want to be saved
but i hope someday, you'll empty the heavy stones from your pockets catch your breath above the surface and feel the sun shining on your face once more
