[Verse 1]
Please be heartless, lovers
Please be cold, I know not what I do
What I do
Keep me from your daughters
Keep me from the wide-eyed and delicate

[Chorus]
'Cause, lately, I've made it through
The unforgiving tide
But all the good inside
Was lost at sea, ooh
Sea, ooh

[Verse 2]
Stay forever weary
For I've been quite the bastard
Posing sweet
So don't you dare be thoughtful
No, don't you dare be darling and delicate

[Chorus]
'Cause, lately, I've made it through
The unforgiving tide
But all the good inside
Was lost at sea
But, lately, I've made it through
The unforgiving tide
But all the good inside
Was lost at sea
Ooh
(Was lost at sea)
Ooh
[Bridge]
And as I swear to even me
That this promise will endure
I'm made aware that I can't be sure

[Verse 3]
Please be heartless, lovers
Yeah

[Chorus]
'Cause, lately, I've made it through
The unforgiving tide
But all the good inside
Was lost at sea
'Cause, darling, I've made it through
Oh, the unforgiving tide
But all the good inside
Was lost at sea
