I thought I could run at the first sign of shaking
I'd shut out the sun, stop the memories from taking their toll
On my mind, but the memories keep coming
I still hear her singing, oh my heart is sinking
Somehow you got away from me
And I see the water rising in and see her ocean eyes overtake my heart, my heart
What would it take to stop the rain from falling again on my heart, my heart
It's you
She went for the door as I started leaving
She told me a lie that I started believing (The lie being "We can just be friends")
I told myself "Don't let this happen again,
Remember the first time when you couldn't let it end"
Oh my darling, she didn't feel the same
So she keeps running around in my brain
And I see the water rising in and see her ocean eyes overtake my heart, my heart
What would it take to stop the rain from falling again on my heart, my heart
It's you
I was nothing to her, she was the world to me
Are you gonna give me up, give me up, give me up again
