we tried
I said i'm in it
you said i'm ready
but you lied
you asked me what love was and I said beauty
and you are beautiful
but you're also guilty

it didn't sit right on your tongue
it rolled off where it didn't belong
it took time for my heart to realize what was wrong

let the water wash over our secrets
the sand covers the deepest holes
and the salt stings like the regrets untold
and you can only keep it

music plays softly in the background
I can see you speaking
but i'm paying attention to the expression on your face
i can see everytime you remember those days
I know when you get lost in the taste
and you wish you were in a place you could rely on
try on the chilly days of winter
your heart may be bitter
but your eyes still glitter
and your breath speaks without you as it leaves your mouth
you're in love now
but I can't remember
you needed my heart and I surrendered
