Nate Rose
Sinking Ships
[Chorus]
I said whoa
I’m on my own
We spoke on the phone
That’s all she wrote
She said leave me ‘lone
So I’mma go
We spent all our time and went for broke
But you coulda made it last yeah
I won’t put it past ya
I said ride the wave but you sank the ship so fast yeah
You weren’t on my side because that would make you mad yeah
I ain’t gotta lie, girl I loved you more the past year
But thinking bout it now

[Verse 1]
Six hour trips down to see you by the coast
I would say our love looking better than for most
I used to show your picture to my friends just to boast
About your energy, whoa, and that 4.0
Never thought I had to look again
Way too focused on your ex and them
Really think you need some better friends
I been feeling different ever since
Loved you way more than you ever knew
Now I’m looking for a better you
[Chorus]
I said whoa
I’m on my own
We spoke on the phone
That’s all she wrote
She said leave me ‘lone
So I’mma go
We spent all our time and went for broke
But you coulda made it last yeah
I won’t put it past ya
I said ride the wave but you sank the ship so fast yeah
You weren’t on my side because that would make you mad yeah
I ain’t gotta lie, girl I loved you more the past year
But thinking bout it now...

[Verse 2]
Six hour trips come see me in the ‘ville
Making love to you first to show you how it feel
We connected on a level I thought that I could never build
And I was so impressed with you
But you know everything that’s good has an end
Look what you created now we’re in this happenstance
I’m convinced
You never really loved me truly like you said you did
It won’t be your friends that will be there in the end
[Bridge]
It coulda been me, it coulda been me
It coulda been us, we coulda been free
A date in New York
Yeah, A date on the beach
And nobody else would know what that means
Except you and me
I swear that I meant I get it you needed your peace
But do not forget it you needed release
Cried in my arms I need you to breathe
Where were you at when I needed you please
When I needed you...

[Chorus]
I said whoa
I’m on my own
We spoke on the phone
That’s all she wrote
She said leave me ‘lone
So I’mma go
We spent all our time and went for broke
But you coulda made it last yeah
I won’t put it past ya
I said ride the wave but you sank the ship so fast yeah
You weren’t on my side because that would make you mad yeah
I ain’t gotta lie, girl I loved you more the past year
But thinking bout it now...
[Outro]
I said whoa
I’m on my own
We spoke on the phone
That’s all she wrote
She said leave me ‘lone
So I’mma go
We spent all our time and went for broke
But you coulda made it last yeah
I won’t put it past ya
I said ride the wave but you sank the ship so fast yeah
You weren’t on my side because that would make you mad yeah
I ain’t gotta lie, girl I loved you more the past year
But thinking bout it now...
