Words Fall Short

As the tide rises and falls
I try to hide from the memories
But my heart seems to stall
And I start to recall
What could have been
What should have been
I swear I would have loved you forever
But then forever is lost
It is shattered by time
And as the waters cover our past
I remember the lovers
Who said that they would forever last
Moments slip back into the ocean
And notion of us is lost
The cost of my heart was not enough to hold back time
I try to rewind but we move on
I try to tell you
But the words fall short
