15 lyrics for 15 days: Day 3: The saddest lyrics you know

It has to be a Darren Hayes lyric, but which lyric?

For the fact that I'm actually obsessed with Darren's work with Rick Nowels, it has to be a B-side from 'On The Verge Of Something Wonderful' called 'Ocean'.

It makes me cry practically every time.

"Only an ocean could know
The weight of the world on my shoulders
Thinking of you, my love
I wish I could drown out emotion
Until only the ocean knows
Wash me away
Carry my heart on an ocean
Love has forsaken
Been taken to somebody else
I wish I could drown my emotions
Until only the ocean knows"

all I'm saying is RELATE.

It's a very dark place to go. and it's a place you seem to often end up from wearing you heart on your sleeve. For giving everything you've got to someone, whom it turns out, didn't deserve it.

Rick and Darren always seem to write THE most emotional songs. it's a beautiful song-writing partnership.
