Let it go, let it go,
He wants her, she's going slow,
He's innocent, but she lets it show,
She's got a sea of memories,
Floating around her cove.
Around her head, the waves crash in,
Ocean tears soak her pillow and bed,
Love bites, he will never know,
Her ocean waste, mermaid foam.
Stone cold, yet her heart is gold,
Buried treasure, a shell of holes,
Sea of memories come crashing in,
Jumping waves never let her win.
No home among the sand,
No one there to lend a hand.
Magnificent scales, mermaid hair,
Shiny tail, scintillating stare,
No soul, immortal hell,
She dips in her sea of tears.
Drowns in fear, but she has fins.
No new life will ever live,
Her sea of memories will begin.
