They say, there is plenty of sea for the fishes

But it seems I’m the only one taking the bait

Lost, trying to be found in a sea full of wishes

🐟

I’ve had a handful of square hits and near misses

I keep tripping over the same old mistakes

They say there is plenty of sea for the fishes

🐠

I thought that I would enjoy being a mrs

I should have listened when they told me to wait

Lost, trying to be found in a sea full of wishes

🐟

I fell for the lines and those soft, gentle kisses

Missed the red flags, disguising the hate

They say there is plenty of sea for the fishes

🐠

Like cinderella, scrubbing the dishes

Ignorant, stepping into my fate

Lost, trying to be found in a sea full of wishes

🐟

My mind drifting off, to my dreams, in the distance

The future I see, is sure looking great

They say there is plenty of sea for the fishes

Lost, trying to be found in a sea full of wishes
