lyrics

you always wanted me to be what I could never be
but always wrong
I thought that you might tell me honestly what I knew
you knew all along

and I don't know how I can give any more
when like a glass tide my heart shattered on the shore

so tell me why you couldn't love as much as I did
when we did belong
well never mind at this point I've figured it out
and you're already gone

and I don't know how I can give any more
when like a glass tide my heart shattered on the shore

I had to give up in the end it was the only way
I never wanted to say when but I just couldn't stay

and I don't know how I can give any more
when like a glass tide my heart shattered on the shore
