Northbrook - I Chose Sympathy Over Love So You Wouldn't Have To Feel My Pain lyrics
rate me<br>
The captain is grey and wise <br>But his weakness lies in ambition <br>Determined eyes set on brighter skies <br> <br>Set sail on a voyage <br>The sea calls to our desire, our demise <br>We search the ocean far and wide <br>For things that lie right in front of our eyes <br> <br>If I laid on the bottom of the deepest trench <br>Would you lie there with me? <br>You could try but I wouldn't think twice <br>Yeah, I'd give you my last breath <br>So breathe that ocean air <br>Let the salt cleanse your lungs of the memories <br>'Cause now I've sunk too deep to dive <br>So live on when there's no hope left <br> <br>I left her <br>Yeah my reckless pride and ambitious mind <br>Always lead me to regret <br>I changed the tide, but remained unsatisfied <br> <br>I stood fast against the gale <br>A storm was brewing, but I pressed on <br>In need, so unaware <br>All the while it lied deep within your eyes <br> <br>If I laid on the bottom of the deepest trench <br>Would you lie there with me? <br>You could try but I wouldn't think twice <br>Oh, I'd give you my last breath <br>So breathe that ocean air <br>Let the salt cleanse your lungs of the memories <br>'Cause now I've sunk too deep to dive <br>So live on when there's no hope left <br> <br>"Lighthouse, lighthouse!" the captain cries <br>But he's sailed too deep to realize <br>That his will has struck him blind <br>In a search for what he'll never find <br>Because each hurricane has an eye <br>Which beholds the calm we can't recognize <br>'Cause we're so lost searching for our sunshine <br>If you see a storm coming, stay inside <br> <br>I was brave, but not well-equipped <br>Tried to hold on, but couldn't get a grip <br>I drowned trying to save our ship <br>I should have never left, I should have never let this go <br> <br>Down to the bottom of the deepest trench <br>As you lie here with me <br>Yeah, you tried, but I didn't think twice <br>No, I gave you my last breath <br>So breathe that ocean air <br>Let the salt cleanse your lungs of the memories <br>The next time a storm hits land <br>Weather the rains, and just stay inside <br> <br>The storm will pass<br>
