lyrics

A cold wind is blowing in from the coastline telling me I must decide.
The moonlight shining so bright, it constantly reminds me of your face

It's nobodies fault it just wasn't meant to be,
Though the tears fall I now can clearly see.

Those sweet lips, once kissed now a gentle mockery.
Those lovely eyes whose kindness hides a coldness sharing secrets with the grave.

It's nobodies fault, it just wasn't meant to be, though the tears fall I now can clearly see.

Believe me I tried to patch all the holes I'd find. In this sinking ship that I've made, I thought it would brave your rough and rocky seas. You've torn all my sails, summoned such gales. The Likes I've never seen.

My lifeboat, my lifeline, whiskey finds me calmness in such times
My heartbeat, the pulse heat, beating fiercely like an angry tide.

It wasn't my fault, it wasn't meant to be
It wasn't your fault, it wasn't meant to be.

Believe me I tried to patch all the holes I'd find. In this sinking ship that I've made, I thought it would brave your rough and rocky seas. You've torn all my sails, summoned such gales, the likes I've never seen.

You were the wind that blew through me, bringing life to my sails. Bringing life to my sails.

You were the sun that shown on me, breathing life in my heart, breathing life in my heart.

And now you've gone off to sea.
And now you've gone off to sea.
