The Ocean Lyrics by Jenny Mitchell

Wildfires

2018

[Verse 1]
When I look back now
I try to think about the good days
How it all felt
Before it all went sideways
It's easy to blame
And it’s easier to hate
But if it was nothin' I'd have never been there in the first place

[Chorus]
Our love was like the ocean
Like the South China Sea
Treacherous from both of us
But, by God, was it deep
And it breaks my broken heart
That some things just can’t be
When you look out at the ocean
Hope you'll always think of me

[Verse 2]
Even now, I'm not sure if I've really let you go
I think I have, then I find your shirt
And I feel so alone
You moved on, and I did too
And I curse your name sometimes
The truth, while I was holdin' him
I miss you bein' mine

[Chorus]
Our love was like the ocean
Like the South China Sea
Treacherous from both of us
But, by God, was it deep
And it breaks my broken heart
That some things just can't be
But when you look out at the ocean
I hope you'll always think of me

[Bridge]
And I know I’ve cried and screamed
Swore you ruined all I could be
But I’m glad I held the ocean
And I'm glad that you held me

[Chorus]
Our love was like the ocean
Like the South China Sea
Treacherous from both of us
But, by God, was it deep
And it breaks my broken heart
That some things just can’t be
But when you look out at the ocean
I hope you'll always think of me
When you look out at the ocean
I hope you'll always think of me
