Now you have gone
I feel saltwater
Broken promises
Drift beside me

Every day I wade out
To collect a piece of me
But when I'm ashore
Just an empty cure
Washes into my sting

You won’t let me be free
You won't let me be free

Now you are here
I taste saltwater
Love's never lived here
Just your footprints

Every day my mind’s
Flooded by your scrutiny
But by eventide
When the rage subsides
Your arms envelope me

You won't let me be free
You won't let me be free

You say you love me
Why do you pour
Saltwater in my wounds?
You say you love me
But all I know is
It has to hurt to heal

You say you love me
Why do you pour
Saltwater in my wounds?
You say you love me
But all I know is
It has to hurt to heal

You won't let me be free
You won't let me be free

You won't let me be free
You won't let me be free
