Some days I think I'll be
Forever alone
Only me for company.

And they say,
'you've got time.
You will see.
There are plenty of fish
in the sea.'

But I-
I don't see
Anything past you.

And the only time I've got on
my mind
Is is when I see you.

And there may be plenty of fish in the sea
But I won't dive in
Because salt water isn't for drinking.

And in time I have found
You're the only thing on my mind
A constant that has been able to withstand
time
after
time.

And there may be
Plenty of fish in the sea
But I don't have gills.

In memories
I will see
Your face,

But you won't see mine.

Oh

I've run out
Of time.
