lyrics

Where was I going
Lost in direction
How has this road taken me here
I thought it was time to give in to something
But the more that I gave you
The more you took away

Years had gone through the cracks
Pretending I was happy and never react
This ship was chartered to crash
But sinking slow

I heard the sound of the waves
Alone in this paradise
Then the winds had changed
Making me have to think twice
I could not stay anymore
By myself on the shore
Take one last look before
I have to go

I know that I didn't give you much warning
The weight of our world was too much to bear
I may not have made all the right decisions
The mistakes that I made are what made me today

Years have gone through the cracks
Did I really do something like that
I hope that you could move past
And let me go

I heard the sound of the waves
Alone in this paradise
Then the winds had changed
Making me have to think twice
I could not stay anymore
By myself on the shore
Take one last look before
I have to go

I heard the sound of the waves
Alone in this paradise
Then the winds had changed
Making me have to think twice
I could not stay anymore
By myself on the shore
Take one last look before
I have to go
