You say "goodbye" like you're waiting for me to die
But ive already jumped ship
Kissed your forehead and watched you sail away
You say "my love" like you have a clue what that means
And ive already drowned 1000 times before
I know, i know, i know,
You never thought you'd see the day
That i find peace and drift away
From you.
And the tide took me
And i could feel again
Feel the ocean,
Salty sweet
Fill my lungs
Take me deep
I wont look back
Not this time
Its my turn to sing goodbye
And I
Couldn't stop screaming this song to you
you
If i tried
Because i love the way it feels
To breathe in the end
Feel the water crush my lungs
Rip and mend
To the rhythm of this charming, swelling, flood
The blankets of water cover me now
Every space that once nested you
Is now bursting,
Overfilled,
New-
And it feels so right,
To drown,
Without you.
Happy sailing,
-Jazmine.
