I sent you down To the sinking shore In search of pretty things That would take your heart to war You weren't in love with me So what else could I do/ If one of us were happy, It might as well be you And I saw you sail into time As I watched her take what was mine But she deserved it more than For that you have every right To hold her heart in place of mine But I'll stay here on standby Until it is you realize That you're the only one that I would sing to You're the only one I'd sing to I gave away the right Of my beating heart to you And the signs of her existence Lied within every bruise But I would never blame you For the lies she told herself After all they're only feelings And we've no choice in how they're dealt
