I've given up a part of me by holding onto you The tales you cast out to the sea are crashing down on you And I could be your ghost The nuzzle at your nose I've tried and tried but now I'm shutting you out Emptiness, it fell to bits and slithered back to shore And I won't be the ballast, babe - can't do this anymore And I could be your ghost The nuzzle at your nose I've tried and tried but now I'm shutting you out It isn't me Honeybee I am a goner Sure was an honor I've given up a part of me by holding onto you The tales you cast out to the sea are crashing down on you I'm shutting you out I'm shutting you out I'm shutting you out
