Nate Weida - (A)part of Me Lyrics

Now my hull feels incomplete
My figurehead's unhinged from me
A screw fell loose, and she reclused
Herself into the sea.
All these years I felt you slip,
Helpless, as you lost your grip
Stoically, I watched you leave
Or did I just retreat?
You were such a part of me.
Even though you couldn't speak
I hoped you loved me more than you could show.
As you bubble slowly down,
I pray you'll think of me somehow.
I worry that you're cold
And I can't hold you anymore.
People paired us long ago
Confident our love could grow
'twas hard to say, you faced away,
As though you wish'd escape.
I will miss your fragrant hair
Salted oak with hints of pear
Now it drowns with weeds and fish
Perhaps you got your wish.
