My feelings are the Titanic

Story

I’m in an ocean of chaotic feelings and slowly begin to learn how to swim

After having drowned too many times, let me reach the shore

Let me be at peace with you, wanna love you but don’t wanna hurt

If I wasn’t that naive and young I would most likely walk away, but for now I can’t cause I am only nineteen

And you have me in the palm of your hand, dropping me then picking me up again

I’m in an ocean of feelings for you and can’t get out

Even if I do, the salt will remain in my hair

Reminding me that you’re still the one I want most

Maybe I’m wearing too much forgiveness and empathy in me

Maybe I should get out of the water and let it drown there

Let my feelings for you drown there as if my heart was an anchor

Like the Titanic that had such tragic love onboard

Though it sank still with parts of that love

My feelings are the Titanic and I’ll drown but survive it

Jack, I found you when I was with someone else and so did you

I am your Rose that you hold so dearly but my words are sharp thorns on your skin

The ship seems to be sinking now and I wanna hold your hand

Even if it’s the one pulling me underwater

Wish I could find the key to the handcuffs tying you to a place you might not belong

Though even being free doesn’t mean our ship won’t sink

If it does, we will survive and swim until we reach safe shore

To stay and heal, to find peace and love

If it won’t drown, we might stay forever on the Titanic, will we always stay?

Either drowning in love or fearing to drown and die

We don’t know Jack, all I know is that I’m your Rose
