drowning in the quiet

[Intro]
Yeah…
I been tryna outrun the ghost of you…
But it’s like every street leads back…
Every night falls the same…
[Verse 1]
I hate the way your shadow’s sittin’ in my room again,
Feelin’ like a stranger in my own damn skin.
Friends say “give it time,” but time don’t ever hit—
Just slows the pain down, makes me learn to live with it.
Scrolling through my phone, yeah, I swear I won’t look,
Then I see your face pop up like a jump-scare hook.
I’m tired of the memories, tired of pretendin’,
Feels like every new start ends where we ended.
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m stuck in the wreckage,
Your name in the message,
Still replay the moments that I wish I could edit…
[Chorus]
I’m drowning in the quiet when the lights go dim,
Heartbreak hittin’ heavy like a cold-steel limb.
Every night I fall apart, tryna hold my breath,
But you left me in the deep and I ain’t surfaced yet.
I’m drowning in the quiet, yeah, it hurts so bad—
Wish I could forget the things we used to have.
Life sucks without you but I’m tryna get by,
Still choking on your name when I say goodbye.
[Verse 2]
I keep tellin’ myself that it’s all for the best,
But the past keeps punchin’ harder than the weight on my chest.
I’ve been patchin’ up the holes with the lies I tell,
But heartbreak feels a lot like a personal hell.
Your sweater in the corner still smells like you,
And I hate that I’m missin’ what we never got to do.
Thought healing was a journey, but it feels like a loop—
Same pain, same night, same falling through.
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m stuck in the wreckage,
Your name in the message,
Still replay the moments that I wish I could edit…
[Chorus]
I’m drowning in the quiet when the lights go dim,
Heartbreak hittin’ heavy like a cold-steel limb.
Every night I fall apart, tryna hold my breath,
But you left me in the deep and I ain’t surfaced yet.
I’m drowning in the quiet, yeah, it hurts so bad—
Wish I could forget the things we used to have.
Life sucks without you but I’m tryna get by,
Still choking on your name when I say goodbye.
[Bridge]
I keep fallin’, fallin’, fallin’…
Into places where your voice still calls me.
Tryna heal but your ghost won’t stall me—
Wish my heart would forget what it taught me.
[Outro]
I’m drowning in the quiet…
Yeah, I’m drowning in the quiet…
But one day I’ll breathe again…
One day I’ll breathe again…
