you said you would take me
where the sand meets the sea
you were the king of act one baby
but you grew tired of me
I came alone
I sat on the beach and cried
my tears were drops in
the cold winter ocean
one by one I'm getting over you
I can’t hear your unkindness
over the power of the waves breaking
so long I knew only blindness
in the sting of the salt I'm waking
up in the air
the dark clouds rant and rave
my tears are the drops in
the cold winter ocean
with each one I'm getting over you
your version of me would walk into the sea
but I found the high ground
and the winter set me free
