Sail, sail away from me, just go
Sell, sell the life that makes me whole
So many times, I gave someone else control
Well I’d hate to say I’m losing faith, I’d hate to say I’m losing faith
I’d hate to say I’m losing faith, to long have I sat here in this place
Asked you to sail away but you stayed, why did you?
Always insisting on pushing your ways through
If I keep myself, there won’t be much left for you
In keeping myself, I’ll be trying not to think of you
Who am I to say I was once whole?
Tell me a story that’s never been told
So many times, I gave someone else, so many times, I gave someone else,
So many times, I lost control
Well I’d hate to say I’m losing faith, I’d hate to say I’m losing faith
I’d hate to say I’m losing faith, but it feels like I’ve been running in place
Asked you to sail away but you stayed, why did you?
Always insisting on pushing your ways through
If I keep myself, there won’t be much left for you
In keeping myself, I’ll be trying not to dream of you
