Tigers In the Sea

If I gave you the sea,

Would you stand next to me,

Would you tell me I'm worth something?

If I gave you the sea, 

Would you yell to me,

Would you lie to me?

 

My tigers they come,

They come out of night,

They tell me I'm going to be alright.

My tigers they speak,

They whisper softly,

They tell me to look to my dreams.

 

You once told me this was all in my head,

Every dream was meant for my bed,

You told me I was going crazy,

You couldnt stand to be next to me.

 

I swear I wrote your name here,

But I have since erased it,

Like you erased me, 

You used to fit perfectly here,

But you have changed, 

And I'm moving on.
