I sink below the ocean blue
To guard my heart from pain
And hide my thoughts from view
Every time I hear your name
I hurt inside at times
And wish it was not so
But if one looks one finds
A world they do not know
I care for you so much
And wish our love could be
But this I cannot touch
You just weren’t meant for me
I know we tried our best
I don’t want you to cry
But my mind just won’t rest
Until I say goodbye
