I Chose Sympathy Over Love So You Wouldn't Have To Feel My Pain

The captain is grey and wise

But his weakness lies in ambition

Determined eyes set on brighter skies

Set sail on a voyage

The sea calls to our desire, our demise

We search the ocean far and wide

For things that lie right in front of our eyes

If I laid on the bottom of the deepest trench

Would you lie there with me?

You could try but I wouldn't think twice

Yeah, I'd give you my last breath

So breathe that ocean air

Let the salt cleanse your lungs of the memories

'Cause now I've sunk too deep to dive

So live on when there's no hope left

I left her

Yeah my reckless pride and ambitious mind

Always lead me to regret

I changed the tide, but remained unsatisfied

I stood fast against the gale

A storm was brewing, but I pressed on

In need, so unaware

All the while it lied deep within your eyes

If I laid on the bottom of the deepest trench

Would you lie there with me?

You could try but I wouldn't think twice

Oh, I'd give you my last breath

So breathe that ocean air

Let the salt cleanse your lungs of the memories

'Cause now I've sunk too deep to dive

So live on when there's no hope left

"Lighthouse, lighthouse!" the captain cries

But he's sailed too deep to realize

That his will has struck him blind

In a search for what he'll never find

Because each hurricane has an eye

Which beholds the calm we can't recognize

'Cause we're so lost searching for our sunshine

If you see a storm coming, stay inside

I was brave, but not well-equipped

Tried to hold on, but couldn't get a grip

I drowned trying to save our ship

I should have never left, I should have never let this go

Down to the bottom of the deepest trench

As you lie here with me

Yeah, you tried, but I didn't think twice

No, I gave you my last breath

So breathe that ocean air

Let the salt cleanse your lungs of the memories

The next time a storm hits land

Weather the rains, and just stay inside

The storm will pass.
