The Sea Cliffs

I met you at the sea cliffs
When I was barely breathing
But somehow you gave me back my air and my mind
Your love was like a bandage
You kissed away the damage
'Til all of it was shattered and you weren't mine

We walked along the seaside
When you were out of your mind
Fracturing the diamonds that the sand left behind
I stared into your eyes and
We fell into the horizon
But now you'll never be mine again

I know you won't believe it
But I went back to the sea cliffs
And screamed your name into the sky
You know I never meant it
When I said we shouldn't mend it
But I'd go back in time and bleed myself dry
To call you mine

We were living in a movie scene
Sugar coated ecstasy
All roses have thorns and I still mourn what we could have been
We were living in a TV show
Called "Lovers who lost it all"
But in season 2 I got over you and fell for someone new

I know you won't believe it
But I went back to the sea cliffs
And screamed your name into the sky
You know I never meant it
When I said we shouldn't mend it
But I'd go back in time and bleed myself dry
To call you mine

When I met you at the sea cliffs
You were my reason
And when I stopped breathing you bled me dry
I found in the ship wreckage
A bottle with a message
Telling me to leave that sea side

And I've told him all about you
Cause I can't seem to undo
The buttons covering my eyes
So I think about the sea cliffs
And how I took him to see it
It's almost like a favour to my pride
Cause you were mine
At that diamond sea side
Where I wish I turned back time
When you were mine

So forget you'd ever seen it
They're still my sea cliffs
Even if I couldn't call you mine
I found in the ship wreckage
A bottle with a message
Telling me to leave you behind
