You Couldn't Just Take the Map
I guess my treasures weren't worth it to you. Oh well. Other fish in the sea. #VocalNPM

I can’t believe I almost fell in love
With a pirate.
I can’t believe…
Well I just can’t believe.
Sure, everyone should have redemption.
And I gave it to you, twice.
And almost gave away my treasure… twice.
I mean, it’s not like I made it easy for you.
I gave you a map…
Man, must have been hard.
Must have been tough being told that
One way would get you the treasure,
And the other would get you, well... nothing.
Yeah.
Tough.
You’re a rigid pirate so you understand sarcasm don’t you?
Good.
So you understand that I gave you two options:
Number one: speak up!
And
Number two: speak up!
But of course you pirates like to play by your own rules.
So you took a vow of silence.
So guess what you got?
Nothing.
The treasure I had waiting for you…
Oh, you would have relished in it!
A golden beauty that lies in the center of my complicated sea.
I gave you a third second chance.
And you decided to open a bottle of rum instead.
You didn’t even speak to me.
So, naturally…
I left.
You chose not to move.
You stayed aboard the jolly roger, with your precious bottle of rum.
Stayed put.
Glad I didn’t give you my heart.
Thanks for everything, love.
