The Forest That Never Sleeps - The Ocean

Our song was the ocean
Lapping the shore
Now your heart is hiding
And I can't talk to you no more
You say you're just one man
That's all you can be
But if a seed cannot sprout
How can it grow a tree
You had too much whiskey
When I wanted to talk
And your feet were all blistered
When I needed to walk
And though there's no mystery
My hearts still in shock
Wont' you leave me be and stop the pain
The days they pass slowly
As I think of your face
And in three-hundred thousand
This city is too small of a place
I remember the moment
I first saw you with her
By the light of the fire
And your intentions impure
I longed through the nights
And I gave you my all
And my only conclusion
Is that your heart is too small
But—in hurt—we tell white lies
Stories so tall
Won't you leave me be and stop the pain
Asphalt breathes beneath the rain
Riding fast helps to make me feel more sane
Back in this old house again
It's been a while since I've felt these blankets
On my skin
Well I'm just one woman
Who fell from the start
And in the process of falling
Well, I injured my heart
Now our song is the salt tears
As they fall from my eyes
And I can't tell the difference
Between your delusions and lies
But, just like the ocean
Our tides will soon turn
And I'll count on the waters
To help stop the burn
My mind will try to forget you
Even though my heart yearns
Won't you leave me be and stop the pain
Won't you leave me be and
Won't you leave me be and stop the pain
