When the seas were cold and raging and I needed you, to stay
in one place. You held me down and sheltered me from the storm,
it was meant to be.
Waves would crash, punish us. The roles were never all that clear
but your heart was always warm that day, long ago.
You were there for me, you made me see.
So why? Do we even try, to pretend but it’s unnatural.
We always try too hard. I think of you, when times get tough.
But it’s alright, I just wish, I could’ve been a better friend to you.
I’m tired I’ve made my choice, I’ve had enough .
Years went by, and I recognize that the storm will never, never go
away. I saw the sun but never through your clouds, and I know
I’ll someday realize.
like the moon, your light helped me shine, but your
anchor now, it holds me down. So let me be free am I to blame?
I’m not the same, so is life I won’t compromise.
So why? do we even try, to pretend but it’s unnatural.
We always try too hard. I think of you, when times get tough.
But it’s alright, I just wish, I could’ve been a better friend to you.
I’m tired I made my choice, we’ve had enough and life goes on.
