lyrics

How did I ever think it was worth it...
Drowning myself just to save your skin?
How could I ever think this was perfect
When you left me wondering...

Why you did
What you did to me?
And why I didn't say a word?

Your reflection burns through me
Time and time again so empty
Your reflection burns

You left me broken now I'm drifting away
The storm that you started hits me harder each day
And I can't face these
No, I can't face these waves alone

You left me searching for a way to be whole
But now I'm stranded here, I'm all on my own
And I can't face these,
No, I can't face these waves alone

Do you remember all the nights we spent here?
Broke every promise that you ever made
Now every night I hear the ocean calling for my name

You left me broken
Now I'm drifting away
The storm that you started hits me harder each day
And I can't face these
No, I can't face these waves alone

You left me searching for a way to be whole
But now I'm stranded here, I'm all on my own
And I can't face these,
No, I can't face these waves alone

Do thoughts of me still cross your mind...
Or have you left them all behind?
And I wonder...
Do thoughts of me still cross your mind?
Will our hearts ever align?
(Will our hearts ever align?)

Your reflection burns through me
Time and time again so empty
Your reflection burns

You left me broken now I'm drifting away
The storm that you started hits me harder each day
And I can't face these (No I can’t face these)
No, I can't face these waves alone

You left me searching for a way to be whole
But now I'm stranded here, I'm all on my own
And I can't face these
(No, I can’t face these)
No, I can't face these waves alone
