Principium Lyrics by MARIS

Of the Sea

2016

Maybe you didn't love me
As much as you shoulda
But then again
How much you loved me might
Be how much you coulda
Maybe if you could turn back time
You woulda
Cared to comfort my desperate, lonesome soul

My siblings never liked me
As much as they love eachother
Odd one out in games and brains
My mind wasn't like the others
If love is someone who was there for me
Music is my lover
Now it's the only safety I have ever known

Maybe my poison is home grown

I've learned to forgive you
Despite my stubborn tongue
The way you treated my hero
Like she's less than scum
I've got trouble thinking of a good man
Though you've grown since you were young
You still passed the demons down the family tree

Separation isn't easy
And I couldn't comprehend
How you tell someone you love them
And then beat them down again
I'm not quite sure what love is like
I've only seen pretend
Maybe love just wasn't made
For you or me

But my roots are drowning in the love I bleed

Oh I see us someday
Glowing golden
Oh we trust
With our hearts open
Oh and love is there too
Though unspoken
How I wish this for you and I

Maybe you didn't love me
As much as you shoulda
But then again
How much you loved me might
Be how much you coulda
Maybe if you could turn back time
You woulda
Learned to love and changed the family line

Then these roots could get a little bit of sunshine

Of the sea
