lyrics

"They were there, a few miles away, but the last to know"
And now here I am, lost at sea 10,000 miles away
there's no more you and me, I never thought I'd see the day
If moving on means moving forward than that's just what we'll do
I'm sure. But I want you to know, I always wanted more, oh no

See I've lost my confidence in everything that's real
I can see and here and smell and taste but I never learned to feel
I think I'm shit, at best, but it's cause I feel ignored
I guess my message in a bottle didn't make it to your door
It said that I'd come home if promised you would stay
But if I heard nothing back; then I'd go along my way

Now, I thought I needed you, for me to be complete
and I thought I needed you, to put me on my feet
to make my decisions
But I don't need you to survive..
...in fact, I'm better off without you.
