I Can’t Turn The Tide

If my love is not enough to hold you down
Then what more can I give to you?
If I could, I’d reach into your heart somehow
And find a way
To make you stay

But I can’t turn the tide
When it’s going out on me
I can’t keep you here if you want to leave
A sailor’s at the mercy of the sea
And I can’t turn the tide
When it’s going out on me

In my heart I only want the best for you
I hope you find what you’re looking for
Life goes on, there’s nothing else that I can do
If it’s meant to be
You’ll come back to me

But I can’t turn the tide
When it’s going out on me
I can’t keep you here if you want to leave
A sailor’s at the mercy of the sea
And I can’t turn the tide
When it’s going out on me

La, la la la Sail away
Sail away

I can’t turn the tide
When it’s going out on me
I can’t keep you here if you want to leave
I can’t turn the tide
When it’s going out on me
I can’t turn the tide
I can’t turn the tide
