Put my heart-break in a box
Tie a bow and send it off
But there's no post office here
I'll find a bottle and fill it full
Put the cap on and throw it in the water
But the tide keeps on bringing it back into me
I wanna get rid of it
This sinking pit in my stomach
I wanna send it away
But no-one wants it so it stays
We stare at each other
A contest to survive the wait
I want to calm the sea
But it's built up swell and needs to roll itself out
Mice are climbing in the walls
I pray that they'll move along
But no, they're nesting. A home they're building
If there wasn't heart-break here to feel
Then there wouldn't be love
Stare through it's windows
Peer at what it would be like
And one day it will pass
One day it will pass
