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
