lyrics

I trusted you so; I was only a child
How could I have known all the lies in your smile?
Your eyes gleamed so bright, always so bright
Though you looked right through me

I thought you were my friend; did you see me as prey?
My heart and my compass both led me astray
I'm lost and adrift, lost and adrift
As the tides change around me

You looked to the sky and you pointed the way
The stars up above were light as the day
Now they're distant and cold, distant and cold
Though once they burned warmly

--

Somehow I knew that our hearts were the same
A treasure in gold worth far more than your name
Now lost to the depths, lost to the depths
Deep in the cruel sea

Your kindness to me was a dreadful disguise
I understand now where your loyalties lie
I trusted you then, I trusted you then
I trusted you blindly

I wake in the night from a troubling dream
The moon on the water sparks and it gleams
You're too far to reach, too far to reach
Your boat gliding past me

--

I see tears glazing over the green in your eyes
Is this honesty now, or only more lies?
I'm watching you leave, I'm watching you leave
I'm watching you leave me

Our story ends here, but it doesn't feel right
I can't find my way, though the stars are so bright
I wish you could stay, I wish you could stay
Why didn't you tell me?

But at last I lose sight of your boat on the sea
You think you've returned all the things that you stole from me

I'm standing here
Heart in my hands
Letting you go
