i'm sorry for everything

I was a drowning man
Sinking in an ocean
Invented in my head

You were a tidal wave
That carried me to shore
At the point that I should've been dead

And nothing prepared me for
When I said goodbye
And you left from the airport

I'm sorry for everything
You were the only one
I promised to be there for

And now that I'm gone
It's no secret that I'm in pain
Stuck like a pantomime, fingers still intertwined
Deep in my brain

I was a sinking ship
Caught in the pull of a vortex
Shaped like your mouth

And you were a canopy
A million feet below
Where my tightrope was giving out

Feeling like broken bones
My head and my room
Both a mess from my lack of upkeep

I'm sorry for everything
'Cause you were the only one
Who really meant everything to me

So tell me why I oughtta go forget you
There's no reason on earth that I'd listen to
I'm here for one thing alone in this life that I live
And it's this happiness that I'm giving you

It's this happiness that I'm giving you

And now that I'm gone
It's no secret that I'm in pain
Stuck like a pantomime, fingers still intertwined
Deep in my brain

And now that you're gone
It's no secret that I'm afraid
Stuck like a broken clock, hoping to focus on
Something besides what I miss in your name
