yes i swear, bravery and strength go with her name
and she said, all she had was a cross around her neck to keep her whole

i still remember how you tried to hold these walls through perfect storms
we lost so many homes

you say hold on and everything will be okay
i've been confused why can't we just run away

was it hope that kept you alive through the years and
should i even call it living?

i've been dreaming that i found you standing in the sea
then you tell me that's where you've been
you said that the water's cold but still warmer than your skin

i tried to hug you, but the closer i got, the further you walked away
