Camp Half-Blood Heartache

You said we were tide-proof,

carved into stone

But the sea kept its promise,

and I lost my home (oh)

We were sparks in the spray on the pier at dusk

Laughing like the future

was ours to trust

Your hand on my wrist,

salt on our skin

Then the waves pulled you back,

and I couldn’t swim (ahhhh)

And I keep your name like a coin in my mouth

Biting the metal so I don’t say it out loud

If I jump in after you,

I’m afraid I’ll learn

Some loves don’t float,

they just burn (ooh) Don’t tell me the ocean

doesn’t choose

It took you gentle,

it left me bruised

I’m standing where we swore we’d stay

Watching the water take your face away

If love is a tide,

I’m the broken shore

I can’t hold you,

I can’t hold anymore (yeah) (oh-oh) (oh-oh)

Your hoodie on my chair

still smells like rain

I talk to it at midnight like it answers my pain

Friends say, “time will fix it,” like time is a friend

But the minute I miss you

just starts again (hummmm) So if you ever

come back with the dawn

Find me where the sea

meets the lawn

I’ll be learning how to let go slow Not forgiving—just loosening my

hold (ahhhh)

Don’t tell me the ocean doesn’t choose It took you gentle,

it left me bruised I’m standing where we swore we’d stay Watching

the water take your face away

If love is a tide,

I’m the broken shore I can’t hold you,

I can’t hold anymore (oh-oh) (oh)
