Sarah Herring Poet Lyric

So Strong

So Strong (Distant Shore)

There's a distant shore they can't see anymore. 

How did it come to this?
She thought it was more than just his kiss.
How could she be so naive?
It's always in the hardest moments 
the truth is so hard to believe.

Her heart is bleeding. 
Oh yes, it's pleading. 
Begging for mercy.
Out in this wide open sea.

He doesn't know to fix this. 
He knew it was more than just her kiss.
Instantaneously, It's his turn to grieve.
Why is the truth always so hard to believe?

His heart is bleeding.
Oh yes, it's pleading.
Begging for mercy.
Out in this wide open sea.

What were they doing, 
thinking they knew anything about love?
What went wrong?
They thought they were unbreakable.
Invincible.
So strong.
Their story wrote its own love song. 
Hand in hand,
glove in glove.

Their hearts are bleeding.
Oh yes, they're pleading.
Begging for another chance. 
Waiting for their last dance.
Dying for that long lost romance.

Their hearts are bleeding.
Oh yes, they're pleading.
Begging for mercy.
Out in that wide open sea.

They're hoping to re-discover, 
to somehow recover that distant shore they can just barely see 
to love the way they did once more.
