Starfish

You became a part of me
Like some sea anemone
You attached on to my skin
You tore out a piece of me
Which I thought that I could keep
And now I'm missing who I've been

Starfish, I wish
I could be more like you
And not miss the parts I lose
Starfish, I wish
My loss was not so great
And I'd regenerate
Cause it seems I fell to pieces over you

I know that you'd agree
I'm half the fool I used to be
It looks like I'm beyond repair
Left to swim this lonely sea
Complaining in hyperbole
"Why me, it's just not fair"

Starfish, I wish
I could be more like you
And not miss the parts I lose
Starfish, I wish
My loss was not so great
And I'd regenerate
Cause it seems I fell to pieces over you

The ocean's barren now
No more fish in this old sea
Just dysfunctional old me
Trying to live without

Starfish, I wish
I could be more like you
And not miss the parts I lose
Starfish, I wish
My loss was not so great
And I'd regenerate
Cause it seems I don't know what to do
