Last night I waited out in the darkness
Realize there's some things I'll never know
Why you decided to take for granted
You threw away the sequel

Last night I gave up on what we started
Won't spend my love on a lost cause
So if there's hope for the broken hearted
Why do I feel so far?

Since the day you've left
I've learned to forgive but not forget
Well, all of the heartache came
And went, I still held on

This is my message in a bottle
I hope you'll never find
It holds all of the remnants of
The love you left behind

This is my message in a bottle
It travels space and time
To share the story of the world

That could have been with you and I
My message in a bottle
Last night I retrace the steps we'd taken
Just to see if I could walk alone

I may look strong but I still feel forsaken
You've never felt so close
Since the day you've left
I've learned to forgive but not forget

Well, all of the heartache came
And went, I still held on
This is my message in a bottle
I hope you'll never find
It holds all of the remnants of
The love you left behind

This is my message in a bottle
It travels space and time
To share the story of the world
That could have been with you and I
My message in a bottle

Since the day you've left
I've learned to forgive but not forget
Well, all of the heartache came
And went, I still held on

Sign off my regrets
I will reclaim the nights you spent
Sincerely I wish we never met
But here we are

This is my message in a bottle
I hope you'll never find
It holds all of the remnants of
The love you left behind

This is my message in a bottle
It travels space and time
To share the story of the world
That could have been with you and I
My message in a bottle
