Our song was the ocean
Lapping the shore
Now your heart is hiding
And I can't talk to you no more

You say you're just one man
That's all you can be
But if a seed cannot sprout
How can it grow a tree?

You drank too much whiskey
When I wanted to talk
Your feet were all blistered
When I needed to walk
And there is no mystery
Yet I'm still in shock

Wont' you leave me be and stop the pain?

The days they go slowly
As I think of your face
And with 300,000
This city is too small of a place

I remember the moment
I first saw you with her
The light of the fire
And your intentions impure

I longed through the nights
I gave you my all
And my only conclusion
Is that your heart is too small
But, in hurt, we tell white lies
And stories so tall

Won't you leave me be and stop the pain?

Asphalt breathes beneath the rain
Riding fast helps to make me feel more sane
Back in this old house again
Been a while since I've felt these blankets
On my skin

Well I'm only one woman
Who fell from the start
And, in the process of falling,
I've injured my heart

Now our song is these salt tears
As they fall from my eyes
And I can't tell the difference
Between your delusions and lies

But, just like the ocean,
Our tides will soon turn
And I'll count on the water
To help stop the burn
My mind will try to forget you
Even though my heart yearns

Won't you leave me be and stop the pain?
