Never Love an Anchor

Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
 Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
 Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
 Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
 On some level, I think I always understood
 That these hands of mine were clumsy, not clever
 And I tried to do the best that I could
 But try as I might, I couldn't bring myself to hold you
 ♪
 It's a secret I keep tucked inside my chest
 With this heart of mine that's guilty, not remorseful
 There is love that doesn't have a place to rest
 But it would have buried you if it had settled on your shoulders
 ♪
 Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
 Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
 Ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
 Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
 On some level, I think I always understood
 That a ship could never really love an anchor
 So, I did the only thing that I could
 And severed the rope to set you sailing from my harbor
 ♪
 There are times when I still wonder about you
 You are someone I have loved, but never known
 And you'll never see the reasons I had
 For keeping my claws away when they were close enough to hurt you
 I am selfish, I am broken, I am cruel
 I am all the things they might have said to you
 Do you ever think of me and my two hands?
 And wonder why they never soothed your fevers?
 And wonder why they never tied your shoes?
 And wonder why they never held you gently?
 And wonder why they never had the chance to lose you?
