that i would not jump before i learned to swim this time
and yet, i saw you off in the rough waves looking at me
your bright eyes were reflecting the moon, like lighthouses
though i know it is wrong to want to drown just to be near you
i would give my last breath just to feel again, your prescence
to be denied is like an irreversible sense of being hopeless
shadows against the sand begin to mock everything i feel
i've never asked for anything from you, but still you insist
tie me up and hang me in your sails, paint me a fool
my heart has no direction; it needs to close the spaces it's open
and when they ask why i cannot feel, i'll sit and think of you
when i'm older, and young ones ask me about the stars in the sky
i'll tell them that for every star you see, is because of a broken heart
and that's why they burn forever, because it'll hurt even after you die
i swore to never again jump with blind eyes and a trusting heart
but my own promises, i could not keep--for i jumped and everything i knew
has now been tragically and forever broken apart.
