Ship’s Left

It was a shot through my mind
All of the late long hours
Taking you back to the light
All of the blossoming flowers, Oh

And I know that we were close
You always wanted to tell me
All of the things that were wrong
And all the things that were lovely

Oh, I wanted
To let you know, Oh...

That all I wanted was to save a life
To save a place for you in the afterlife
And good intentions are good but I find
That they're no better than sitting on the side

I gave it up, again, I let you down
All the ways it's easy to love

You'll always know when it's too late
To call them a friend
Waited too long to get on
Now the ship's up and left, Ah

I'm holding on for a last breath
To call you by name
Over the sea and the waves
Carried by infinite self rage

Oh, I wanted
Another chance

To try it better than, all the other days
To love you like a friend, for always
To see your true beauty, and through the haze

I messed it up again, I let you down
How can you forgive me now?

I don't see your light in me
I want what's real, no fraud, no frill
I don't see your light in me
I want what's real, no fraud, no frill
