i was a drowning man
sinking in an ocean
invented in my head
you were a tidal wave
that carried me to shore
at the point that i should've been dead
and nothing prepared me for
when i said goodbye
and you left from the airport
i'm sorry for everything
you were the only one
i promised to be there for
and now that i'm gone
it's no secret that i'm in pain
stuck like a pantomime, fingers still intertwined
deep in my brain
i was a sinking ship
caught in the pull of a vortex
shaped like your mouth
and you were a canopy
a million feet below
where my tightrope was giving out
feeling like broken bones
my head and my room
both a mess from my lack of upkeep
i'm sorry for everything
'cause you were the only one
who really meant everything to me
so tell me why i oughta go forget you
there's no reason on earth that i'd listen to
i'm here for one thing alone in this life that i live
and it's this happiness that i'm giving you
and now that i'm gone
it's no secret that i'm in pain
stuck like a pantomime, fingers still intertwined
deep in my brain
and now that you're gone
it's no secret that i'm afraid
stuck like a broken clock, hoping to focus on
something besides what i miss in your name
