Under The Waves

A song about someone who thought they found the one they could trust in a sea of fakes only to realize that they were wrong.

I walked in with no expectations

Just wanted a simple conversation

No one would give me the time of day

That all changed when I met you

Words flowed between us so effortlessly

You always put my restless heart at ease

When did everything between us change?

When did the sunshine turn to rain?

Why'd you let the ocean carry you away?

I'm slipping under the waves

With no one to rescue me

I'm slipping under the waves

With only the echo of my voice

Bouncing off the waves to comfort me

Before you I never opened up to anyone

But as I got to know you I took a chance

And let all my defenses melt away

I felt a kinship between us and I was right

We were one and the same, in perfect sync

No one could drive a wedge between us

When did everything between us change?

When did the sunshine turn to rain?

Why'd you let the ocean carry you away?

I'm slipping under the waves

With no one to rescue me

I'm slipping under the waves

With only the echo of my voice

Bouncing off the waves to comfort me

I thought we would last forever

But that was a foolish pipe dream

I really should have known better

As this has happened to me before

But I thought you were different

I thought I found my happy ending

Until you decided to leave me stranded at sea

And now that everything is over

I have to pay the heaviest price of all

I'm slipping under the waves

With no one to rescue me

I'm slipping under the waves

With only the echo of my voice

Bouncing off the waves to comfort me

My body grows heavier by the second

It's as if I was slowly turning to stone 

I can barely keep my head above water

My arms are bound to give out soon

I have no choice but to follow suit

And let myself sink beneath the waves
