For the first time tonight, I'll bleed myself dry
For the first time today, I gave my soul away
I walked outside, skies pouring out their tears
I walked inside, flashbacks from the years
You were just too out of reach
From this life that I can't reach
But your heart, it's what I seek
I gave you mine, but you let it sink
into a river, so to speak
then you left me behind
like I've been bled dry
you sunk away
drowning in the ocean
i sat thinking
'what do i do?'
i was clueless
my light body
couldn't sink to get you
what do i do?
what do i do?
how do you save someone who's drowning?
how do you bring them back to shore?
how do you show them life, in the darkest of times?
how can i save her?
the one i adore.
