I been fightin’ through the silence, can’t explain what’s breakin’ me,
Every smile that used to save me now just feel like make-believe.
Tryna hold my breath underwater while they walk away from me,
Guess the tide took who I love, and I’m drownin’ secretly.
Mirror talkin’ to me lately, I don’t even know that face,
Pain been wearin’ down my name, and time don’t ever leave a trace.
Every “I love you” start soundin’ like goodbye in my head,
And every laugh I used to know turned into ghosts instead
I been holdin’ on to pieces of a person I used to be,
Watchin’ love turn into distance, guess that’s how the river flows.
These scars don’t fade, they just teach me how to hide ‘em slow,
And all this pain I bottled up got me drownin’ on my own.
Mama said, “Don’t let that darkness make you lose your way,”
But it’s hard to pray to Heaven when your heart too full of graves.
Every hug feel colder, every call come late,
And I swear I hear their voices every time I wake.

Hook – soulful choir, Rod Wave style)
I’m driftin’ away… tryin’ to find my faith again,
Feelin’ like a stranger in my own skin.
All this hurt inside, I can’t explain,
Can’t find the words, can’t stop the rain.
I done lost my love, lost my flame,
And the ones I need don’t feel the same.
Yeah, I’m driftin’ away…
But I pray I find my way.

[Verse 2 – Jelly Roll tone, gravel voice, piano & 808s]
I got memories that haunt me when the lights go dim,
Faces of my people smilin’, now I can’t find them again.
Every tear that hit my hand feel like another goodbye,
And I can’t tell if it’s me or the world that died.
Whiskey on my dresser, but I don’t sip the peace it brings,
It only makes the truth louder when I try to sing.
They say time heals, but it steals too,
It took the best parts of me — now what I got to lose?

[Hook – stronger drums, gospel harmony]
I’m driftin’ away… tryin’ to find my faith ,
Feelin’ like a stranger in my own skin.
All this hurt inside, I can’t explain,
Can’t find the words, can’t stop the rain.
I done lost my love, lost my flame,
And the ones I need don’t feel the same.
Yeah, I’m driftin’ away…
But I pray I find my way.

[Bridge – choir + spoken]
Sometimes you don’t even know when you’re losin’ yourself...
You just wake up one day, and the world don’t sound the same.
And the people you loved — they still there... but the feelin’ ain’t.
So you start talkin’ to God like He’s the only one that's there to stay.

[Outro – faint piano, Jelly Roll-style monologue]
Sometimes the ones who smile the most…
are just the ones that learned how to cry in private.
But maybe that’s how God teaches us to love —
through the loss, through the rain… through the drift of faith
Ooh… I’m driftin’ away…
But I pray I find my way.
