I held my breath as you faced the sea
I thought I was brave
Cause you believed in me

Your mom, your mom
Argued, told you to stay
And I just stayed quiet
Couldn't find a way

Now all I hear is
The ocean sound
If I had stopped you, you'd
Still be around

If I had known I'd hold you back
Tell you the truth instead of cheer your act
I'd take your anger, I'd take the blame
If it meant I'd still hear you call my name
But the sea pulled you
Where I can't go
And I'm stuck with it
If I had known
If I had known

You were fearless, you were chasing
I just wanted to stand by you
With all my mind

But love
Should've kept you safe with me
Not left me crying by that empty sea

And still
When it's quiet
I hear your love
It keeps me moving
It pulls me back

They said love means letting you fly
But sometimes it means not saying goodbye
I learned too late, I let you fall
Now the ocean keeps what I lost most of all
But broken as I am, I'll chase the sky
I'll wear the suit, I'll keep your fire alive
Every step in space, every star in view
I carry this dream because of you

If I had known, I'd fight the tide
I'd beg you to stay, I'd hold you inside
Forget the medals, forget the fame
I only wanted your heart the same

But the sea pulled you
Too deep, too soon
Now I'm reaching for the stars
With your tune
Every orbit, every view
I'm still living this life for you
If I had known
I'd never let you go
Never let you go
Oh
