Original lyrics
ENI keep a map of your silences
Folded in my chest
Like a note I never sent
You came in half-lit
Always one foot out the door
I gave you my whole sky
You gave me weather on the floor
I read your pauses like scripture
Every miss like a sign
I was building a home
Where you kept closing the blinds
You said you cared
But your hands never stayed
Like rain on glass
Or a train that misbehaved
I kept my heart open
You kept yours on lock
And I wore every little absence
Like a stone in my pocket
I try to breathe you in
But you slip through my fingers
I reach for the truth
And it vanishes quicker
If love is a room
Why do I feel alone?
Why do I feel alone?
You leave me drowning
I can't even surface
You leave me drowning
And I still think you're worth it
My chest is on fire
My ribs feel the pressure
I love you too loud
You love me too lesser
You leave me drowning
(Drowning)
You leave me drowning
I can't come up
Some nights you were sunlight
Some nights you were a wall
One text like a prayer
Then nothing after all
I kept running in circles
In a field of your maybe
My feet wore the ground thin
My mind got shaky
I learned your distance
Like a scar learns skin
How you could be near me
And still not let me in
I kept saying tomorrow
Like tomorrow had hands
But it just kept turning to dust
Every time I asked
You'd look at me softly
Like you meant to stay
Then the room went cold
And you drifted away
I try to breathe you in
But you fade when I touch you
I reach for the truth
And it cuts right through me
If love is a room
Why do I feel erased?
Why do I feel erased?
You leave me drowning
I can't even surface
You leave me drowning
And I still think you're worth it
My chest is on fire
My bones feel the tremor
I love you too deep
You love me in pieces
You leave me drowning
(Drowning)
You leave me drowning
I can't come up
I saw the fault line early
Still I stepped on it
Hoping your silence
Would finally soften
But hope is a habit
That bleeds when it's fed
I kept holding your ghost
Like a hand in my head
If I let go now
Will I lose myself too?
Or was I already gone
The day I loved you?
There's a crack in the ceiling
There's a crack in my voice
There's a crack in the mirror
And I made the choice
You leave me drowning
I'm coughing up fire
You leave me drowning
Till my lungs get tired
My heart's a bruised drum
Beating under pressure
I love like a flood
You love like a measure
You leave me drowning
(Drowning, drowning)
You leave me drowning
And I can't come up
No, I can't come up
I can't come up
I keep a map of your silences
Still folded in my chest
And every time I touch it
It feels like
Going under
