Never Love an Anchor

Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh On some level, I think I always understood That these hands of mine were clumsy, not clever And I tried to do the best that I could But try as I might, I couldn't bring myself to hold you It's a secret I keep tucked inside my chest With this heart of mine that's guilty, not remorseful There is love that doesn't have a place to rest But it would have buried you if it had settled on your shoulders Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh On some level, I think I always understood That a ship could never really love an anchor So, I did the only thing that I could And severed the rope to set you sailing from my harbor There are times when I still wonder about you You are someone I have loved, but never known And you'll never see the reasons I had For keeping my claws away when they were close enough to hurt you I am selfish, I am broken, I am cruel I am all the things they might have said to you Do you ever think of me and my two hands? And wonder why they never soothed your fevers? And wonder why they never tied your shoes? And wonder why they never held you gently? And wonder why they never had the chance to lose you? Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
