it's true--
i don't love you anymore.
but sometimes i catch your eye between waves in the surf,
that same ocean blue i've always known
like summers by the beach, you are long forgotten like my childhood,
days and nights spent drinking the stars
i will never forget what they taste like
i will never forget what you taste like.
it's true--
i don't love you anymore.
i am with another,
he is more than you ever could have been for me but
why do i still crave your inadequacy?
he is my whole galaxy, his beauty is unmatched and
oh how he makes me feel but
why am i still dreaming about you?
i don't love you anymore-- i promise,
we moved on so long ago i forget what goodbye sounds like
i'm lying.
i could never forget the way you said that,
like it took the strength of a million tsunamis to just
keep it together but oh i don't love you anymore!
it's what i've been trying to say i'm sorry but sometimes
the emotion in my own words gets so caught in my throat
i forget how to breathe because
i still see your eyes between the waves.
