Buddy Kirwin - On The Bottom Of The Ocean Floor

Well I swear this is the last time
I get burned like this
I know you've been laying around
With all those other pretty boys in town
We've been here so many times
And you keep telling me you want to be more than friends
I kept believing you until it became too late
Every time your around or someone mentions your name
I get a knot in my stomach
And I go a little insane
And I finally realized
I needed to find protection
Because every time we would meet
Your energy was always awkwardly put in the wrong direction
I've been here time and time again
Because I think I can change reality
But lord knows only one of us has ever committed to this formality
Empty promises said day after day
You're making it easier to walk away
If I let you fool me again
I'll just be a crying bonehead going astray
In the still of night when everything is dark and quiet
I look back and think of when you would tell me lies
Never once could you give me an honest excuse
And I constantly question why
But I'd never be surprised
But I'd always brush aside the proof
Because I never wanted to accept the truth
You'd tell me to meet you and you'd be surprised that I showed
During these times of my life I felt like I was the princess's ugly toad
I'd pursue and search for something that was invisible
But in these moments of my life I felt it was critical
My heart should've never been spilled out all over the floor
No tears or pain been let out
But how can I live with all of your burdens
When the sad fact is that you couldn't appreciate and commit to something so pure and Certain
Times slipping away
The ship's going down
Only you have the power to keep us afloat
Because either way I've already boarded the rescue boat
Goodbye baby
Hope you make the right choice
But god still knows at night I'll long to hear your voice
All my control and power are out the goddamn window
No matter how many sleepless nights
It's up to you babe to keep us afloat
Because you've caused the wreck of this boat
All the pressure is dragging us down
It's in your hands to deploy the lifeboat
Nothing can save us except for you
Goodbye darling
Hope you can live with your choice
I know one day
I'll be able to sleep
Without yearning for your voice
