Castaway

As I stand upon the shore Waving goodbye without belief A mixture of emotions Churns away into the sea I'm happy that your pain is gone The pressure has been relieved But you have no idea, what it's doing to me Lift a sullen anchor Climb out of the foamy sea Navigate to a life Better than there is for me Castaway on the ocean Sail into my dreams The memories of you, won't be enough for me Living with salty regrets The tears that I have shed Piecing this life back together Isn't as easy as they said Treading water around me, Can't find a single clue What I'm looking for, or where I'm going When all I need in this world is you Tangled in the seaweed Strands of dread and doubt Am I strong enough to carry this weight Or should I sail with you now Take me to where you're going Under this fiery setting sky Take me to a place without woe, and leave these people behind Lift a sullen anchor Climb out of the foamy sea Navigate to a life Better than there is for me Castaway on the ocean Sail into my dreams The memories of you, won't be enough for me Deserted upon this shore Stranded with the pain A castaway that will remain, until I can climb aboard But I'm happy that your pain is gone And for that I am relieved Sail away alone now, and don't look back for me
