Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Grief is a lungful of water
At first it only burns
Then it drowns
I told you I was drowning
You looked away and said,
“Everyone drowns somehow.”
You shrugged like loss was law
A tax we all must pay
As if knowing fire is coming
Makes it easier to stay
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
But tonight you are the life raft
For someone else’s storm
Your words are soft as gauze
While I weather mine alone
⸻
[Chorus]
And I watch from the shore
As the tide pulls me down
Still ankle-deep in sorrow
While you tend someone else’s crown
Maybe his wounds are older
But mine still bleed unseen
You hold his pain like porcelain
Mine breaks behind the screen
⸻
[Verse 2]
You wrap him in your comfort
The kind I dared not ask
You carry his mourning gently
While I wear my silence like a mask
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Would it take my body sinking
For you to see I’m gone?
Or do you only grieve the ones
Who no longer need to hold on?
⸻
[Chorus]
And I watch from the shore
As the tide pulls me down
Still ankle-deep in sorrow
While you tend someone else’s crown
Maybe his wounds are older
But mine still bleed unseen
You hold his pain like porcelain
Mine breaks behind the screen
⸻
[Bridge]
If I slipped beneath the silence
Without a single cry
Would you cast a line too late
Only when the sea ran dry?
⸻
[Outro]
Grief is a lungful of water
It burns, then it blinds, then it swallows
And I wonder who you’ll mourn
When there’s no more air to borrow
