The Story Behind This Song

I wrote this on a night I couldn't stop crying. Not the pretty kind — the kind where your whole body shakes and you can't breathe and you're screaming at someone who isn't even listening.

This is what it sounds like when you love someone who doesn't flinch at your breaking. When your tears don't even register. When you're drowning right in front of them and they just watch.

I'm tired of begging for you to care. I'm screaming at the heavens but heaven's just a wall of stone. If you've ever felt invisible to the person who was supposed to love you the most — this song already knows your name.

Lyrics

I’m tired of begging
For you to care
I’m drowning in my tears
And you’re not there
I’m screaming at the heavens
But heaven’s just a wall of stone
The echo of your silence
Is colder than being alone

Drowning, drowning in my tears
Drowning, drowning — you don’t hear
Drowning, drowning — disappear
I’m drowning in my tears

Do you sleep while I’m unraveling?
Do my cries just fade to noise?
You built a cage out of my love
And called that silence choice.
You don’t even flinch at my breaking,
You just call it meant to be.
You sanctified your silence —
And buried what was left of me.

Drowning, drowning in my tears
Drowning, drowning — you don’t hear
Drowning, drowning — disappear
I’m drowning in my tears

Bridge / Breakdown
I’m drowning — can’t you hear me?
Falling through my memories
I’m drowning — someone save me
From the silence that you left

Drowning, drowning in my tears
Drowning, drowning — you don’t hear
Drowning, drowning — disappear
I’m drowning in my tears

I am bare
And defeated
And you don’t care
I’m numb
Exhausted
Can’t feel this anymore

Final Hook (last breath)
Drowning, drowning in my tears
Drowning, drowning — you don’t hear
Drowning, drowning — disappear
I’m drowning in my tears
(repeat ad-lib / fade)

Someone hear me…
Please…
I’m drowning.
