I have sat hiding a shattered heart too many times Biting back words I wish I'd been brave enough To shout To scream out selfish truths **** the consequences Instead of worrying about everyone else's feelings But my own
I let the tide sweep me along
You set me on fire once And I got so scared I nearly drowned myself Preferring the waves that threatened to swallow me As long as they kept dragging me away
Despite miles and miles of ocean, I can still smell smoke
We've left too many things unsaid And said too many things too late And I've screamed and heaved a thousand sobs Across leagues of empty space Berating myself in turns for being a coward And a naive fool And yet I still can't help but wonder When you say, "Nothing will have changed," Are you referring to the flames?
