Swallowed In The Sea
Coldplay (by f@riz rec.) Lyrics

You cut me down a tree
You destroyed something that was once beautiful, something that was serving me well

And brought it back to me
You returned the remains of what you destroyed, as if it meant nothing and could be easily repaired

And that's what made me see
Your actions caused me to see the truth, the reality of the situation

Where I was going wrong
I realized the mistakes I was making, the path I was on was not the right one

You put me on a shelf
You isolated me and kept me away from others, keeping me for your own benefit

And kept me for yourself
You wanted me all to yourself, for your own purposes

I can only blame myself
I accept responsibility for the part I played in this situation

You can only blame me
You also played a part in what happened, but now you are blaming me for everything

And I could write a song
I have the ability to express my feelings through music

A hundred miles long
There is a lot to say, a lot of emotions to share

Well, that's where I belong
Music is my home, where I feel most comfortable expressing myself

And you belong with me
You are an important part of my life and my music, we belong together

And I could write it down
I have the ability to express my feelings through writing

Or spread it all around
I can share my feelings with the world, through writing or other means

Get lost and then get found
I may feel lost and unsure of myself, but I will eventually find my way back

Or swallowed in the sea
I could be consumed by my emotions and fears, overwhelmed and lost in the vastness of the world

You put me on a line
You hung me out to dry, exposed and vulnerable

And hung me out to dry
You left me alone, without support or protection

And darling that's when I
At that moment, I realized what a mistake I had made by trusting you

Decided to go to sea
I turned away from you and the life we had built together, ready to face the unknown

You cut me down to size
You humbled me, brought me back to reality

And opened up my eyes
You helped me see the truth, even if it was painful

Made me realize
You helped me understand something important about myself or the world

What I could not see
You showed me something that was hidden or obscured from my view

And I could write a book
I have many experiences and ideas that could fill a book

The one they'll say that shook
These experiences and ideas have the potential to impact the world in a significant way

The world, and then it took
The world would take notice of what I had to say, and it could change things for the better

It took it back from me
But something happened that prevented me from sharing my message with the world

The streets you're walking on
The places where you are, the world around you

A thousand houses long
There are so many people in this world, so many lives being lived

Oh what good is it to live
What is the point of living if you have nothing to give?

With nothing left to give
I have given everything I had, and now I am empty

Forget but not forgive
I may forget what happened, but I cannot forgive it

Not loving all you see
I cannot just accept the world as it is, I need to work to change it
