Another soul wandering on an open sea
Searching for the shore
Till you came, reached out to me
Showed me a different route than before

Out of the sea of desolation
And dragged me away to the earth
Breathe new life into my wrecked soul
You gave me second birth

You were the lighthouse in the dark
With siren's song, lured me in
Your love kept me, held me from the start
Took a bite from the apple, my greatest sin

You gave me reason to live
But i choked from the apple, eaten
I plunged back into shallow water
Battered, broken, and beaten

Your lies, sweet as honey
And seeped into my mind
Then you shoved me under once again
You with another, I did find

The water ripped away the scabs
That was already healing on my heart
No thread could ever mend
The stabs in the back, which tore me apart
