I Saw The Ocean

Blindsided, betrayed, and hung out to dry
Unwilling, unable, to compromise
You can’t move on if you lay down and die
Forgiven, forgotten, and brushed aside

Halfhearted, heartbroken, washed out to sea
Drowning in self doubt, and false misery
You can’t escape that which was destined to be
Accepting, rejected emotionally

So I fall down, fall down, into emptiness
So I fall down, fall down, into emptiness

Unstable, barreling out of control
Potential and prospect out the window
You can’t undo what’s already been done
Regretful, remorseful slow sinking sun

Among the finer things in life, I count you as
An ornament of character
Beyond the blue apache sky, thoughts divide
A silence suitable for one

Without You    Without You
I am without myself
Without You    Without You
I am without myself

A voice that echoes through my past, lullabies
Reminds me of our darkest hour
The cascade coupled with regret and loneliness
A shadow cast upon the void

Without You    Without You
I am without myself
Without You    Without You
I am without myself

Solo

A shadow of my former self
A blank and broken empty shell
The waters rise above and I cannot forget the love
Reminded by the break of a new day

Chorus

I wasn’t looking for a second chance
I wasn’t interested in new romance
It just happened to me, yeah
It stumbled into me, yeah

Some people wish that they could turn back time
But I’m not the type that even bothers to try
Would it change anything, yeah
What would the outcome bring, yeah

And now I can’t believe
It happened this way
You were a moment to late, a moment too late
This isn’t easy to say
And so hard to explain
You were a moment to late, a moment too late
And I can’t believe it happened this way
You were a moment too late
I’d gotten comfortable with being alone
I had no problem spending time on my own
It just came naturally, yeah
Was not a problem for me, yeah

A life can change in the blink of an eye
The storm might come before you make it inside
You gotta roll with the tide, yeah
You might not understand why, yeah

Counting down the days to escape oh dear
Tell me is it you I fear or me
If I stumble catch me when I fall I pray
If only I could find a way to say

I’m sorry I was wrong
I never meant to harm you dear
The evidence is crystal clear
I was guilty and I was wrong

The moves you made The dues we paid
You’re breaking my mind
Can’t believe you went away
Now that I’m here to stay

The plans we made The word you gave
You’re living a lie
Never been so far away
I can’t believe you went away and left the only one

Deep inside myself I find the will to write
An apology of truth and lies untold
Once across the border I attain my place
Unable to recall from grace I stall

Take me as I am
I’ve done the best I can to be
The person that I want to be
But I can’t escape my past

Time is a rolling stone
And it takes you where you want to go
Or so I’m told
Later down the road you’ll begin to know
That you’re only chasing empty goals
It’s never who you know
