It's been years since I've seen you

I wonder how you're doing

I know you're the type to pretend

Nothing's wrong when it's still haunting

And maybe this is not my job

But I find myself worrying for you

Ever since that day years ago

You've never been able to accept the truth

As you fake a smile, and you say those words

"Everything is fine" or so I heard

Searching for something never to be found

And you don't seem like you can figure out

He's gone forever; he's not coming back

As much as you search, you know that's a fact

Hoping someday you'll meet, hoping someday you'll find

Your love lost at sea, see him one more time

Knowing you, you won't give up

Though the facts are staring you in the face

Knowing you, you'll just push onward

Running to the past in a backwards chase

And maybe this is not my job

But I find myself worrying for you

Ever since that day years ago

You've never been able to accept the truth

As you fake a smile, and you say those words

"Everything is fine" or so I heard

Searching for something never to be found

And you don't seem like you can figure out

He's gone forever; he's not coming back

As much as you search, you know that's a fact

Hoping someday you'll meet, hoping someday you'll find

Your love lost at sea, see him one more time

And the last time

That I saw you

You went to sea

What could you do?

Maybe I should

Have stopped you then

If I had, you

Wouldn't be dead

As I fake a smile, and I say those words

"Everything is fine" or so they heard

Searching for something never to be found

And I don't think that I can figure out

You're gone forever; you're not coming back

As much as I search, I know that's a fact

Hoping someday I'll meet, hoping someday I'll find

My love lost at sea, see her one more time
