Sunk

Here comes a heartbroken lady
Setting sail across a heartbroken sea
She thought that maybe
She could find a man to set her free
At night, she switches the lights off
Thoughts of his body on her mind
And as she's slowly sinking
She remembers his last line

He'd sworn he loved no other
She cried please come back to me
But even that night she’d known the look in his eyes
Her heart floats heavy on the sea

She sits on the sofa
Trying to make some sense of what was said
The answering machine sits silently
As all he didn't say filled her head
She grabs at the moorings
Trying to keep a hold on what’s in her heart
But as is the way with many a young sailor
You can't end what didn't start

He'd sworn he loved no other
She cried please come back to me
But even that night she’d known the look in his eyes
Her heart floats heavy on the sea

She thinks of his eyes
She ponders the life they could have made
Emotions running high
While her vessel ‘s tossed and swayed
She knew her best bet would be
Calling on some friends still around
But there wasn't much use for a life boat
She knew no matter what she was going down

With the waves rocking
That woman made a promise to herself
That no matter what she wanted
She would never come back to this hell
She looked out at the sunrise
Wondered how things ever got this far
But when you fall for a false love
Falling apart ‘s not very hard

He'd sworn he loved no other
She cried please come back to me
But even that night she’d known the look in his eyes
Her heart floats heavy on the sea
