Lost at Sea

Verse 1:

Want to hold you close but you’re always out of reach,

Want to tell you secrets that I know I’ll always keep.

Never want to hurt you, I’m the one that’s losing sleep,

Watch you walk away ’cause I’m scared to take the leap.

Chorus:

Your aqua eyes are so tranquil,

Remind me of the ocean still.

But now I know

But now I know

Its waves are formed of broken dreams

But now I know

But now I know

That heartbreak’s deeper than it seems.

Verse 2:

I’m the one who “had it all” nestled in my hand

But when it came to you, you slid right through like sand.

I’m the one who helped you up, taught you how to stand,

Then you spread your wings, flew away, leaving me on land.

Chorus:

Your aqua eyes are so tranquil,

Remind me of the ocean still.

But now I know

But now I know

Its waves are formed of broken dreams

But now I know

But now I know

That heartbreak’s deeper than it seems.
