Shipwreck

I've been trying to tell myself
That you're a lover not a bad friend
Cause if I try to name this situation it might end
Like a ship into a rock or a car reck in the street
This situation-ship might be the death of me
If you just a lover we would sink more easily
I could accept that you were just a flame to me
But you held me in the right why left everyone so easily
I even watched you cry on Sunday's

But oh, I know
That you're never gonna love me
But I still try my best and won't succeed
Cause you'll still end up leaving me
And oh, I know
That one day I could break free
But I needed you to know that I wouldn't quit
Until you told me you were through with this

If you were just a lover
We would sink more easily
You'd be like a necklace that was thrown into the sea
But that necklace that you gave to me
You brought it back from Greece you see
And I can't throw it back so easily

And oh, I know
That you're never gonna love me
But I still try my best and won't succeed
Cause you'll still end up leaving me
And oh, I know
That one day I could break free
But I needed you to know that I wouldn't quit
Until you told me you were through with this

See if I could just forget about
All the things you said to me
And all the shitty ways
That you could have never treated me
Maybe things would have ended up a little differently
Im just glad no one here welcomes you in Tennessee

And oh, I know
That you're never gonna love me
But I'll never give you a chance to prove
That you could be a better you
And oh, I know when you still watch my stories
I wonder what it's like to lose someone you
Could've had the chance to hold on to
