Lyrics
The water closed before I even screamed, A net of rope where moonlight barely gleamed I clawed at threads that would not let me through Not knowing yet his hands were pulling too He knelt before me, breath held soft and slow, No blade, no fear — just wonder I didn't know His fingers loosed the rope around my wrist, And something in me broke that should've stayed dismissed I know the shore is not a place for me I know the cost of wanting to be free But something in his eyes made me forget Just once, to feel like I was human yet I am the veil upon the sea, The tide will take what's dear to me I never meant to steal the light I only meant to love tonight I am the veil upon the sea So don't you fall in love with me He hums a song his mother used to sing, He calls me grace, he calls me everything I let myself believe in something true Forgetting seas remember more than I do A ring falls loose, a name I never knew, Another shore, another life that's true The storm I feared was never in the sky It's in the lie he wrapped around goodbye So let the thunder answer what he hid I am the storm I swore I never did (ahh… ahh…) (don't leave… don't leave…) I am the veil upon the sea, The storm was always part of me I didn't mean to steal his light, I just became the wreck of night I am the veil upon the sea So don't you fall in love with me The water calls, I answer as before I am the veil upon the shore Not the first to love and let it drown Won't be the last to wear this crown
