Like something clicked
Watching myself watching you
And the waves of the ocean
Bashing us in
And we’re trapped in the lagoon
Of sadness and eerie
I don’t know why I am here
But I see your face floating by
But your soul went to the sky
And in front of me there’s a glass
And I want to say my last goodbye
But you’re too saint
For my dirty veiny hands
Because you don’t deserve me
And I don’t deserve you
Because love is good
But not loving is better
Because this lagoon is colder
Without you
But I deserve this cold
And you deserve the warmth of the sun
Up there in the sky where you are
And when you visit me at night
I want you to know
That I feel sorry for everything
For the love I didn’t deserve
And for the shame you didn’t deserve
Because I know you cried
When you were still alive
So I can cry now when you’re gone
And though you’re up there in the sky
I feel like you still listen to me
So hear me out,
I have never loved anyone like I loved you
As you might have never loved anyone like me
And I wish I saw you for the last time
Because I want to let you know
That your love was the best gift I’ve ever had
