LYRIC FOR SALE

By Mary Victor

One day I was drowning in your love,
You made me believe I was enough.
But our footprints were made in the sinking sand,
That’s why it all slipped through my hands.

I was capsized by the tears in your eyes,
I jumped overboard when I couldn’t see love anymore.
How can it change like the rolling tide?
The waves crashing from the inside.

One day we were walking on solid ground,
You looked at me when and I felt found.
But too soon the walls came crashing in,
The light on the horizon growing dim.

I was capsized by the tears in your eyes,
I jumped overboard when I couldn’t see love anymore.
How can it change like the rolling tide?
The waves crashing from the inside.

Now I feel like a ship being tossed by the sea,
Wishing for the waves to devour me.
Now sure how much more I can take,
Lost in the ripples of your wake.
I was capsized by the tears in your eyes,
I jumped overboard when I couldn’t see love anymore.
How can it change like the rolling tide?
The waves crashing from the inside.

I look for the future, but cannot see,
Is there a lifeline being tossed to me?
How do I find my way through the pounding sea,
Lies and deceit are an anchor tied to me.

I was capsized by the tears in your eyes,
I jumped overboard when I couldn’t see love anymore.
How can it change like the rolling tide?
The waves crashing from the inside.

I want to believe as the sun sets in the west,
For a new day and a peaceful rest.
It was easier when I didn’t have a clue,
But the truth has altered everything I thought I knew.

I was capsized by the tears in your eyes,
I jumped overboard when I couldn’t see love anymore.
How can it change like the rolling tide?
The waves crashing from the inside.
