I've tried to be your nourishment
but we starve
I've tried to be your confidant
through my flaws
I've tried to make us leisure class
but we're poor
I've tried to be your resistance
yet how easily we fall
to breathe from the inside
the salt of the ocean
the waves are transparent
strands of emotion
I've tried to be your paramour
but I'm cold
I've tried to be so nonchalant
but I'm bold
I've tried to be the savoir fare
you don't need
I've tried to take your breath away
yet how easily you breathe
to breathe from the inside
the salt of the ocean
the waves are transparent
strands of emotion
you can't say I've never tried to love you
you can't say I've never tried to die for you
