You said, you said we would
See the world together
Our love would make the heavens stop & stare
But in still water you get restless
I can’t ride your tempest
No I refuse to be your last chance romance
Another night all alone
I’m tired of staring at the moon
Wishing you missed me at all
I’d rather be shipwrecked
Than drowning without your love
Reaching for a glimmer of hope, pull me aboard, this is how it ends
I’ve waited for your hand to hold but you’re not there
I’d rather be shipwrecked instead
I know I deserve much better
I’ll untie this anchor keeping me at bay
Yeah I’ve been tossed around, the waters rising now
But I’m done holding out for you
After the night comes the dawn
Battered but I will carry on
And I don’t need you at all
I’d rather be shipwrecked
Than drowning without your love
Reaching for a glimmer of hope, pull me aboard, this is how it ends
I’ve waited for your hand to hold but you’re not there
I’d rather be shipwrecked instead
