i wanted it to be you
i wanted it to be you see,
because i am a bucket
i am a bucket that has been empty
since the day he poured me out
and no one likes an empty bucket
they say i need to make myself useful
so they pass me down from person to person
until i break
and he was the one who broke me
with his beautiful hands and strong grip
he held on so tight
he forgot
that he was the only thing
keeping my plastic smile together
he let go of me
and all of the water i once held
poured from my cracks
and i was left to be carried away by the tide
you, adventurous boy
found me washed up on the beach
and you were so encaptured my color
you didn't notice my cracks
i didn't mean to let you down, see
but i am so broken
that i cannot hold all of the love you're pouring into me
so you throw me to the sea
and once again i wait
because i am a bucket
and i will be used time and time again
