lyrics

A shipwreck we were lost at sea
We were drowning it was you and me
It was a rogue wave that came crashing through and took away everything

It was the nighttime when it all fell apart
Yeah there were lies and this was only the start
This love could kill us and it's getting some help from
The deep blue sea

Yeah there were lifeboats but no room for us
So we burned that bridge yeah we spit in the dust
No sign of rescue which is fine by me cause there's nothing to save

With my last breath I wanna give you a kiss
And tell you how much I hated this
But it's too late cause you're already swimming to another guy

Gasp for air
Never look back
Your lips are turning blue my vision's going black
A watery grave how appropriate
Cause it felt like we were drowning since we started this

Like a captain going down with the ship
I'll just stay here and let the water come in
I'll let it take me and fill my lungs like you used to do

They say the ocean has no memory
So that's the perfect place for you and me
I can forget you until I see your name tattooed on my arm

So now I'll wait here in the deepest abyss
In this darkness with your name on my lips
Between heaven and hell I dwell until you ship passes by

Then I'll reach out with the strength of the sea
Toss you over sink down to me
You can stay her for eternity
While the waves crash by
