You sailed away
On a boat
On a boat I put you on
I set the course
I pushed you into the water
I tied you to the hull
I cursed the boat for leaving the dock
I dragged you through the streets
You let me
You let me break you
I cried as I dragged your beaten body across the pavement
Angered by your cries for help
You sailed away
I dove in the water
I swam to you
I reached the boat
You helped me climb aboard
Just as my clothes dried
You pushed me back in
Full steam ahead
You sailed into the sunset without me
