I Could Drown a Nation Lyrics

Oh I know she wrote it in my soul

Never love a man who's promised you he'll go

But I know within my heart it wasn't wrong

Still I can't stop writing sad songs

Oh this heart she always ties the rope

Kill all the parts of me that dared to hope

Scream it to the buckled ears of God

Won't somebody tell me what it's for

My mind won't stop repeating what he said

For me right now, I don't feel it

Bleeding stops and breathing hurts me more

This numbness isn't who I thought we were

Oh the oceans born of tears

All the women cried so man could swim

I could drown a nation with the love I never gave

Suit me with another warming, cold embrace
