Keeping It

Sorry that Your heart got Broken into. Sorry that You've been robbed. Before they threw you the ruins back Sorry that you're scared to Let somebody make it stop. I kept a photograph You took Of all of us. Almost Threw it in the trash Hundreds of times But ended up... Keeping it. If you ever Let some other girl in Another ocean girl who Knows what she's getting into... Let me, break in Break in And this time Whatever I find I'm keeping it... The night the band played I prayed you'd dance with me But you just talked. In your head. In your own world again. I'll wait til you figure it out. Always been here. Waiting away... You can take your time Let me borrow little things Here and there See if I like What you let me find. You might think everything Including me Is temporary Cuz that's all you've ever known... But this time whatever I find Im keeping it As mine
