Did you notice the ribbons in my hair
Or my eyes, how they glitter though I'm barely there
'Cause I do, why won't you
Did you know if you picked me a bouquet
I'd keep it 'til it rots away
You threw yours out before it bloomed
I know you sent
My love letters out to sea again
Saw the ink smudge and get washed away
Are my words more beautiful that way
Haunted by our way home
We followed the sky, found the North Star
Could have sworn I glistened like art
Salt water danced down my cheek
But you never noticed me
Did you read my love letters
I shouldn't ask, should know better
Than to love you so
Am I foolish for thinking I could find
A home in a world of you and I
I'm through with artful illusions
So bottle up my letters
Smash the glass to sand
I'll be cut by the shards
Next to where you stand
I'll glue my heart back just for you
But I know you sent
My love letters out to sea again
Saw the ink smudge and get washed away
Are my words more beautiful that way
Haunted by our way home
We followed the sky, found the North Star
Could have sworn I glistened like art
Salt water danced down my cheek
But you never noticed me
So send my love to the mermaids
Their songs carry my heart through somber times
Go let my love be taken by the ocean
So I can watch it drift far far away
Like how you sent
My love letters out to sea again
Saw the ink smudge and get washed away
Are my words more beautiful that way
Haunted by our way home
We followed the sky, found the North Star
Could have sworn I glistened like art
Salt water danced down my cheek
But you never noticed me
Did you read my love letters (did you read them)
I shouldn't ask, should know better (should know better)
'Cause you let me go
(You let me go)
(You let me go)
You let me go
Coulda read my love letters
