Lyrics

I've been watchin' you for some time
Can't stop staring at those ocean eyes
Burning cities and napalm skies
Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes
Your ocean eyes
I know what I did
I know it hurt you
Had to make a choice knowin' all I had to lose
And if I had to I'd do it all again
I just hope you understand
How badly it really hurt to
See you like that
Lord knows I am just a man
In the end I fold my hands
Put my trust into His plans, and I
I don't know where I'm goin, I don't understand
But I still pray every night that He gon' meet all your demands, I want
You to be happy even if that means I can't be
Feel like I failed you, the promise that I couldn't keep
If there was anything that I wish I could be
I would be all that you need
But I know that's not with me, no
Despite what you've been thinkin, this shit has me broken
I've been rottin' inside so I don't see the ocean
Can't look up at the sky 'cause I'll just see yo' eyes
Askin' God to tell my why I had to be the one to hurt you
No
I know it's my fault
No, you didn't deserve this
I don't know what it was, but there was somethin' not workin
I know you did your best, you loved me so much it hurt you
Yeah, I'm forever grateful for the way that you loved me
Like no one else did
I know that there's somethin' I'll never find again
And I can't even say that that's the hardest part of this
It ripped my heart in two to see you feel the way you did
So, yeah, I know it's my fault
I deserve all of the rainfall
Late nights by myself, it's so hard not to call
But I can't do that to you, I can't be your after all
Cause after all I know that you deserve much better now
And when you reach out I just feel so paralyzed
And in those moments I can't help but to realize
This ain't about me, it's someone that I love
And the only way I know is because the way I just want
You to be happy even if that means I can't be
Feel like I failed you, the promise that I couldn't keep
If there was anything that I wish I could be
I would be all that you need
But I know that's not with me, no
Despite what you've been thinkin, this shit has me broken
I've been rottin' inside so I don't see the ocean
Can't look up at the sky 'cause I'll just see yo' eyes
Askin' God to tell my why I had to be the one to hurt you
