[verse]
What have I done
My sacrifice was for nothing
Those sacred years have now gone up in flames
I relinquish my trust
In what is to come
Cause only fools have faith & I’d rather be in the ground

You burned my trust every chance you got
Did you ever care or was I just an obstacle 

You are salt in my wounds

You are a snake in the grass
And your bite is toxic
You have injected your venom
But I refuse play dead

I’m so tired of you

[chorus]
For all these years that have past
Can we return from the ash
Do your embers still glow
Or are your feelings no more
What have we done
Where can I run
From these feelings I hide that eat me up from inside

[breakdown]
Rip out the stitches in my heart
Pour your salt into my wounds
Is this your sick love games? 
Watching me suffer on your hook

You killed my heart in cold blood
When you stabbed your knife in my chest
You fucking never loved me
Just end my suffering

[chorus]
For all these years that have past
Can we return from the ash
Do your embers still glow
Or are your feelings no more
What have we done
Where can I run
From these feelings I hide that eat me up from inside

Just let me go in peace

[verse 1]
Does the ocean mourn the ships lost in its waves
How many sailors perished in her freezing waters
Does she lose any sleep for those men lost at sea
Or were those souls sent to the void for nothing

[refrain]
When all hope is lost, it sinks in a storm like every ship before

[verse 2]
You never cared, your actions said as much
How many times must I pour out my heart
For you to see, I’m not the man I once was
But a shell of who I want to be

[chorus]
And now my ship is sinking and I must learn to swim on my own
Treading water gets harder when you’re lost with no where to go

[outro]
So do I drown? Or will you rescue me?
Did you write me off or are you still looking?
My ship is on the ocean floor
Where it ever remains like those you sank before

SAWYER HILL - HEAR FROM ME | THE BOOTH

This song was written in collaboration with Gabe Belton

Lyrics:
The scars from the past never heal
This hole in my chest is all too real
After years of your shit I finally said goodbye
The ship has sailed, don’t want you in my life

Those memories were so bitter sweet
I’ve never felt so alive & so incomplete
What were your intentions with my heart
How could you love me then rip it apart

There’s nothing you can do to prove
I hate who I am when I’m with you
There’s nothing you can say
That can change the past & erase all the pain
You can cry, you can plead,
Now I finally see
We weren’t right for each other
We weren’t meant to be
I hope you know what you did wrong
This time, I’m really gone

You were so quick to walk out that door
Left me dying & bleeding on the floor
Like a cigarette I burned for you 
You lit me up just for one time use

You took that piece of my heart
Put it with the others in the dark
A collection of pain, taken in vain
Pointed your finger like I was to blame

There’s nothing you can do to prove
I hate who I am when I’m with you
There’s nothing you can say
To change the past & erase all my pain
You can cry, you can plead,
Now I finally see
We weren’t right for each other
We weren’t meant to be
I hope you know what you did wrong
This time, I’m really gone

And I will never forget how you looked in my face while I wept
And I won’t ever go back to that place where we first met
And I can’t say that I miss you, I know that I’ve said it a thousand times
And I have finally healed from all of the scars in my heart & my mind

There’s nothing you could do to prove
I hated myself when I was with you
There’s nothing you could say
To change the past or erase my pain
You can cry, you can plead,
Now I’m finally free
We weren’t right for each other
We weren’t meant to be
I hope you know what you did wrong
This time, I’m moving on
