if i ever was
then now i'm less than sure
what i was waiting for
if i could find the strength to walk
me
i'm drinking the sea
she will send me to sleep
surely there must be an easy way
and i'll say it again
will the nevers end
do i have to forgive to forget?
i wrote a letter only yesterday
i cannot recall what i wanted to say
i saw a chance
i let it pass me by
this is the shallow end
my friend
i say never again
will the nevers end?
this is not what i had meant to say
so i'm drinking the sea
trying to pick up the pieces
and saying never
again
if i ever was then now i'm less than sure
and this is the shallow end
my friend
