Were waters used to be

VERSE 1

I’ve been sitting in the quiet of this room,
waiting for a feeling that won’t come.
There’s a heaviness that pulls me to the floor,
like I’m holding on to something long gone.

I’ve been talking to the walls about you,
’cause they’re the only ones that listen now.
They don’t answer, but they echo what I do—
all the ways I still fall apart somehow.

⸻

PRE-CHORUS

And I swear I try to breathe,
but it hurts where it should heal.

⸻

⭐ CHORUS

You left me with a heart that doesn’t cry,
no matter how I beg it to tonight.
It’s empty where my tears should be,
like someone pulled the soul out of me.
And I keep waiting for the break,
but nothing falls, nothing shakes.
It’s empty where my tears should be…
and I’m scared that’s all that’s left of me.

VERSE 2

I’ve been walking through the days like they’re a test,
trying not to show the cracks inside.
People say I’m “strong,” but they don’t get
that numbness is the cruelest place to hide.

I remember when your voice could cut me,
now nothing even moves my chest.
I’d rather hurt than feel this quiet—
this stillness where my storms should rest.

⸻

PRE-CHORUS

And I swear I try to feel,
but it’s fading, piece by piece.

⸻

⭐ CHORUS

You left me with a heart that doesn’t cry,
no matter how I beg it to tonight.
It’s empty where my tears should be,
like someone pulled the soul out of me.
And I keep waiting for the break,
but nothing falls, nothing shakes.
It’s empty where my tears should be…
and I’m scared that’s all that’s left of me.

⸻

BRIDGE

I would trade this quiet pain
for one moment in the rain.
Just to know I still exist,
just to crack instead of drift.

⸻

⭐ FINAL CHORUS

You left me with a heart that doesn’t cry,
and I don’t know how to feel alive.
It’s empty where my tears should be—
just silence pulling down on me.
And though I’m trying not to break,
there’s nothing left for me to shake.
It’s empty where my tears should be…
and I don’t know who I am without them.
