about

This song was written directly following an episode of me, the artist, sobbing on the floor of a music hall practice room.

lyrics

Counting back from ten, I try to slow my breath again
Sinking further down, than arms extend

Leave a mark so blue, in your distinctive shape
Something I could never wash away

I know I am worth the things that I give up
So I am done asking for love

Cause I don't want to rely on hot water to keep me alive
I know we won't always have what we need to survive
You've been here longer
And you should've known
Now more than ever that I deserve better
Than cold and shallow

Did I leave the faucet on, is that why you're so cold?
Acting like the only one feeling low

You did not deserve, the things that I gave up
And I am done asking for love

And I'm so tired of drowning just to breathe
I keep my head beneath the surface hoping that you'll remind me
Why I jumped in to begin with cause the water's draining now
You don't help me when my oxygen is running out

And I don't want to rely on hot water to keep me alive
I know we won't always have what we need to survive
You've been here longer than me
So you should've known
Now more than ever that I deserve better
Than cold and shallow
