I'll dry my heart, I'll wash my bones
A great goodbye to a paper sea I know
Where the sun's afloat a diamond flood
Just because it makes you sing doesn't mean it's love
I still think it's wonderful
But wonder keeps, and I grow old
It rains all day, but I'm not sad
Look what I am because of what I had
Oh, it was cold but I didn't freeze
I cried you a tear, now I'm out of the sea
It was strong, it was sweet
It took me, I was weak
You're still in my chest, I just don't feel you beat
Who are you now? I knew you well
If you're listening, I could never tell
When you let go of my words, they fell
Someday you'll be the sea for someone else
It was nice to be caught up in you
You know I stayed until my hands turned blue
When your name is lost and my voice is new
I'll still know your face when I sing your tune
Oh, it was cold but I didn't freeze
I cried you a tear, now I'm out of the sea
It was strong, it was sweet
It took me, I was weak
You're still in my chest, I just don't feel you beat
