[VERSE 1]
He wakes up next to her, but it feels like an empty room
Two shadows on a mattress, silent like a tomb
She’s there but far away, drifting in another world
Heart once wrapped in passion, now twisted, cold, uncurled
He used to call her “home,” now she feels like just a space
A roommate with his memories, ghosting in the same place
He hides the cracks inside, tells himself, “I’ll be okay”
But every night his soul dies just a little more each day
[PRE-CHORUS]
The love ain’t gone, but it ain’t alive
It’s breathing but barely survives
[CHORUS]
He’s drowning right beside her, and she never hears the splash
His heart bleeds quiet ink, writing poems made of ash
He’s holding on to fragments of the life they once designed
A ring that feels like chains, dragging deep inside his mind
He doesn’t want to leave, but he’s breaking, coming undone
Silent storms inside his chest, she thinks he’s numb
But he’s dying every second just to stay and fake the fight
Sleeping with his wife, but he’s alone every night
[VERSE 2]
She cooks dinner, they sit down, phones talk more than they do
Every laugh feels counterfeit when eyes ain’t shining true
He wishes she could see the hurricane behind his stare
The man that used to love loud is now gasping for air
He doesn’t want another love, doesn’t want another face
He just wants the woman she once was, to fill this quiet place
But love turned into routine, routine turned into pain
A promise turned to chains—he starts drowning in his brain
[PRE-CHORUS]
He whispers every night, “Don’t let me drift away”
But she can’t hear the thunder in the words he doesn’t say
[CHORUS]
He’s drowning right beside her, and she never hears the splash
His heart bleeds quiet ink, writing poems made of ash
He’s holding on to fragments of the life they once designed
A ring that feels like chains, dragging deep inside his mind
He doesn’t want to leave, but he’s breaking, coming undone
Silent storms inside his chest, she thinks he’s numb
But he’s dying every second just to stay and fake the fight
Sleeping with his wife, but he’s alone every night
[BRIDGE] (Dark and poetic)
He screams inside but lips never part
A coffin carved from the ribs of his heart
He begs the past to resurrect their spark
But she only sees him fading in the dark
The silence between them louder than a crowd
Two souls connected, but the love’s not allowed
He’s scared if he leaves he’ll lose himself for good
But if he stays, he’ll rot where he stood
[CHORUS – FINAL]
He’s drowning right beside her, and she never hears the splash
His heart bleeds quiet ink, writing poems made of ash
He holds her like a stranger, trying not to break apart
She sleeps while he is bleeding poems carved into his heart
He doesn’t want to leave but he’s losing who he is
A dead man walking, breathing through the abyss
He hopes one day she feels the pain he hides from sight
Sleeping with his wife…
But he’s alone every night
