You were water lyrics

First time we met, my hands shook by the cup Coffee going cold as the night opened wide Secrets we traded till the dawn came up Two hearts learning slow, with nothing left to hide First kiss, and the innocent laughter we'd share Time standing still just to watch us a while I wanted you with that beautiful, reckless care Of someone who still believes, and just smiles You were water, slipping through my hand You were summer, you were sea, you were what never stayed And I dive back into all that we were You leave everything, but in me you remain Whoever walks away like that stays caught in the end A golden day, warm sand beneath our naked feet The beach was crowded, but only you were there Your smile could make the whole wide world feel sweet And I never knew how much was mine to lose somewhere Your wet hair carrying the scent of the Sun A happy tear hiding low, behind your eye It was in the cold water of that waterfall That you smiled at me for the very last time You were water, slipping through my hand You were summer, you were sea, you were what never stayed And I dive back into all that we were You leave everything, but in me you remain Whoever walks away like that stays caught in the end Then came the silence, cruel and with no face Messages read that never came back again The echo of nothing screaming in that empty space While I searched for your name in every sign and then I went back to the beach, but the Sun looked dead I dove alone in the pool that you'd left behind I went back to the waterfall that cold winter instead The rocks still remembered the smile in your eyes That same place that once held my final joy Was the one that taught me how to fall If love was all that, then why does it survive? If it's over, why does it still live on in me? Where is that smile from the early morning light? Why did the one who swore forever Leave me with nothing but the ache of the end? You were water, slipping through my hand You were summer, you were sea, you were what never stayed And I dive back into all that we were You leave everything, but in me you remain Whoever walks away like that Leaves the soul held still in the moment of the end
