OVERBOARD

I said this time around I don’t think I’ll make it

I’m not sure what will take me first 

The heartbreak or the hunger

Because my stomach won’t keep and it hurts

 

If it wasn’t for the friends I have around me 

I might be were I wish you were

7 feet with the winter not letting

Any grass grow on the new soil turned

 

And of course I didn’t mean to say that

But I still haven’t been given my heart back

You threw it over when you thought you sinking

Now I’m  on the ocean floor still searching

 

For a love that you threw overboard

 

And if I shook out the sand from the ventricles

and I tried to slide it right it back in 

Would it even recognise     

this man oh the heart 

that you bailed out 

into the freezing

 

And of course I don’t mean to say that

But I still haven’t been given my heart back

You threw it over when you thought you sinking

Now I’m  on the ocean floor still searching

 

And if I find it will the damage be too much to measure

Or can I turn it into my most valuable treasure

​

Now I’m a long way from home

Put some time and space between the things I know 

Learnt the lessons that you can only learn from the road 

Build a new heart and this time it’s made out of stone 

 

And of course I don’t mean to say that

But I still haven’t been given my heart back

You threw it over when you thought you sinking

Now I’m  on the ocean floor still searching

 

But the thing about a stone cold heart 

Is if you let fall it it’ll  fall harder 

If it’s showed a little warmth that it never knew

Could it be somebody’s valuable treasure
