They tell us, "destroy what destroys you" and then they get mad when we hurt ourselves

Your heart held an ocean
And in it I found a home
Your waters were inviting
And now they chill me to the bone

Your ocean heart reflected
The calmness in your eyes
Until a storm started brewing
And I began drowning in your lies

You promised to keep me afloat
But in my heart you tore a rift
Said we could sail away together
And I was left adrift

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
