lyrics

Your bright blue eyes catch mine as I stare at their gaze
Noting that the sparkles gleam when you smile
But as you turned to walk away, I tried to make you stay
Only if for a little while

But I know you must go, so I wait for your return
All the while, I continue to yearn
Watching time as it passes by, but not matter how I try
I just can't let you go from my mind

My head is spinning from this feeling
Because it's so new
I feel the waves gently rocking me
Oh, how I wish for your kiss
To be held in your arms
I'd be yours, but would you ever see?
But for now, all I can do is breathe...

I asked for legs so I could run fast under the sun
Sprinting forward to search for you
When you found me, I felt so free, but time still moved on
And I saw that your love was gone

All the while, I stayed around, hoping that things would change
Even though my heart said otherwise
Watching time as it passes by, but not matter how I try
I just can't let you go from my mind

My head is spinning from this feeling
Because it's so new
I feel the waves gently rocking me
Oh, how I wish for your kiss
To be held in your arms
I'd be yours, but would you ever see?
But for now, all I can do is breathe...

And when you left me to wed another's mind and soul
You gave me another empty soul
No good-bye, I don't know why, as you faded away
Leaving me all alone at bay

Your eyes caught mine one last time before you turned away...

I throw it all into the sea
Watch the foam envelope me
And feel the sway of waves sing a song
The tears fall from my eyes
As I feel your love die
But in fact, it never existed at all
So instead, this story I will scrawl

I will send it, flying out to you, with love
Good-bye
