I wasn't looking at the ocean this time

as we watched the waves eroding the shoreline

No, I was looking at the sparkles in her eyes

I was looking at an angel in disguise


But honestly this won't hurt me because

no one can get hurt when their

pulse is dying and their

heart stops beating

And honestly this can't kill me because

no one can be killed when their

bones have broken and their

heart stops working


I love you, I miss you, and I'm getting tired

They say "absence darkens heart and desire"

But we'll show them; take my hand because we know them

They're skeptics elected to make hearts reluctant


I wasnt looking at the setting sun this time

as we watched the full moon steal our night sky

No, all I wanted was to steal her heart; please surrender

I have a feeling we're the meaning of forever


Smile, because God gave you lips

Hurt, because God gave you a heart

He gave you, he gave me


. . . to make hearts reluctant

. . . to let go, I couldn't
