2 years seems so long ago,
I can barely remember
The way I loved the spark in her eyes
That brightest ember
I never meant to break her down
I never meant to snuff it out
So bottle it all up, batten down the hatches
Say you’ll be okay when the waves start crashing.
You can’t outrun the storm, so you just run and hide
That body of water will eventually get inside
Drown you in the past, drown you in your lies
Make you wish you made for clearer skies
Always the martyr, I recall
The victim in the forest
Words got twisted, time has passed
Please say you’ve forgotten
You crucified me then, so crucify me now
I take back every word from my mouth
So bottle it all up, batten down the hatches
Say you’ll be okay when the waves start crashing.
You can’t outrun the storm, so you just run and hide
That body of water will eventually get inside
Drown you in the past, drown you in your lies
Make you wish you made for clearer skies
