Words and music by Bridget Fleming.
With every salty tear that falls from my eyes
My heart grows heavy living for each sunrise
Kindness disguised as cruelty
It's no surprise, but soon you'll see
By the depth of the ocean
We're gonna be here for awhile
We're made of particles of tiny tragedies
Colliding, separating...apologies
I'll wait my turn, I'll stand in line
I'll smile and tell you I'm just fine
Though I need some attention
We're gonna be here for awhile
Your footsteps slowly fade as you walk away
I just remembered something I forgot to say
"I'm so sorry, but we all must
live underneath the same darn sky..."
Oh well
If I could miss someone, of course it'd be you
Your broken promises are not breaking news
I'm getting tired, it's getting late
But my heart tells me just to wait
For a perfect conclusion
We're gonna be here for awhile
