about

This song was written in Fall 2011. The subject matter is kinda complicated. When it was originally written, I was talking to every girl who ever had feelings for me and I broke their heart, whether I knew it or not. I was telling them that I'm sorry. I was also saying to them that I think I had found my future wife, but if it didn't work out I would give them my heart.

lyrics

The coming of the rain is a fountain of sorrows
So I’ll drown all my fears and all the rest will follow
I’ll say goodbye to every broken heart
And cling to the hope that God plays His part
I think that I might
I may have found it at last
But how is this different from every hope I grasp
So pull up the anchor
Make ready the ships
I’ll know finally when I seal my lips

I won’t forget your fragile heart
I won’t forget
I promise

But this ship has sailed and so have I
But you’re still beautiful in my eyes
And I’ll take your hand if we fall again
But until then

Don’t look at me like that or I may fall in love again
My whole world will collapse
And for us a bitter end
I cannot forget you and I’ll love you ‘til the end
But if we don’t fall again
Just know we will be friends

I won’t forget your fragile heart
I won’t forget
I promise

But this ship has sailed and so have I
But you’re still beautiful in my eyes
And I’ll take your hand if we fall again
But until then

You have a heart like fire and a soul of gold
I’d be blessed to have you when I’m old
But I may have found her
Even if I’m gone you should know
You have a heart like fire and a soul of gold

I won’t forget your fragile heart
I won’t forget
I promise

But this ship has sailed and so have I
But you’re still beautiful in my eyes
And I’ll take your hand if we fall again
But until then
But this ship has sailed and so have I
But you’re still beautiful in my eyes
And I’ll take your hand if we fall again
But until then

Well I’d carry you in my arms and take you home
I’d give you my soul and heart and everything that God doesn’t own
I would travel from afar
Through the snow sleet wind and hail
All while you’ll be after my heart and while I set sail
Set sail to sea
Looking for a wife and family
I’m sorry that you’re my backup plan
I hope you understand
But if it’s meant to be
God will take you and me and make we
