I thought I heard a sweet sound
Oh yeah I know it well
You sang my ship into harbor
Then dragged my life through hell
You said you liked my music
So I wrote you a stupid song
Your mind was already made up
I thought they had you all wrong
You reel them in you throw them out
Think they're yours and you're in doubt
You never cared
Cared enough
I tried to swim, got ripped away
Those piercing eyes were poison laced
And I thought I was tough
Now when I hear your sweet sound
I pray it isn't true
You pulled with your joyless smile
Now I'm mad 'cus I still miss you
You reel them in you throw them out
Think they're yours and then you doubt
You never cared
Cared enough
I tried to swim, got ripped away
Those piercing eyes were poison laced
And I thought I was tough
Sail away now the siren is wailing
Sail away now the siren is wailing
Sail away now the siren is wailing
Sail away now the siren is wailing
You reel them in you throw them out
Think they're yours and then you doubt
You never cared
Cared enough
I tried to swim, got ripped away
Those piercing eyes were poison laced
And I thought I was tough
