Out To Sea

Why don’t you tell him all those things
You swore you’d never tell
Why don’t you forget about me
And release me from this Hell

While you are with him
Why am I the one who has to wait
By embracing his hand
You’re sealing my fate

You’ve driven me to the edge
I’m a guns blow from ending it all
The breeze from your voice of treason stirs
And over the edge, I begin to fall

Falling into a sea of angry water
Waves of my past crashing onto my mind
I sink so quickly to the bottom
So scared of what I might find

A message in a bottle
Sunken, it’s words hidden from their glory
I remove the letter, and read it’s words
They read, they tell of my story

“He loved her so,
Yet he pushed her away
He needed her so,
And each night to God, he’d pray

To bring her back, to his barren arms
To gaze upon her smile once more
To regain the trust that he so bluntly lost
To walk backward through a closed door

She didn’t give him a happy ending
There was no reuniting of love
And very little remained
Of what their connection was conceived of \"

I realized, then, looking up to the surface
It wasn’t I she wanted, it was him
The tears blending into the water, I was lost
I continued looking up, dropping the letter, away I’d swim

Away from the memory of her and I
Away from a love that has be erased
The slow swim upwards revealed the answer
I have simply been replaced

I didn’t make it back to the surface
I was stopped by the longing I carried
I accepted the ocean floor
As where I’d be buried

And so she remained,
In a world without I
But not a day goes by
That, out to her, I cry
.. Come back to me..
