I loved you more than my own name

More than the ring in my left hand

I patched your coat with bleeding thread

While you slept sound in my bed

You fed me lies with salt on your tongue

Said I was home when the night was young

I gave you my heart, my fire, my years

You gave me a harbor full of tears

But I saw her hair on your collar

Saw my faith sink lower and lower

You made me kneel, made me beg

Then you broke me plank by plank

I stole your ship

I stole your crew

You made me drown in all you do

I stole your ship

I stole your crew

For every wound, I came for you

I learned your maps by candle smoke

Learned every lie that your sweet mouth spoke

I counted moons in a salt-stained room

While you built your sin and called it bloom

So I loosened ropes in the dead of night

Whispered go now, sail for spite

Your men went with me, one by one

They knew your name and what you’d done

And the dawn came red on the water

My hands were mercy no longer

You made a thief out of my love

Now I wear the storm like a glove

I stole your ship

I stole your crew

You made me drown in all you do

I stole your ship

I stole your crew

For every wound, I came for you

You called me dear when the nets were full

Then left me with a heartless pull

Now the sea knows what you did

It keeps my rage under its lid

I don’t pray for your return

I let the mast and rigging burn

If love was a knife in your hand

I took the blade back for my own stand

I stole your ship

I stole your crew

You made me drown in all you do

I stole your ship

I stole your crew

Now taste the tide that carried you

I stole your ship

I stole your crew

For every wound, I came for you
