You’ll ever feel like people leave pieces of themselves inside you And they never come
back for em’ Yeah… I do not learn people through experience alone No I learn em like abandoned wells collecting rain when the sky turns cold Somebody talks for five minutes and somehow I hit a childhood hidden behind this soul Somebody says I’m tired But I can feel disappointment rotting underneath their bones I don’t listen to words no more I listen to where the pattern’s in
the way voices break The silence after laughter to tremble people pray Nobody notices when they fake And every time somebody cries around me It stains me like smoke trapped inside white cloth Like fingerprints on glass after love is gone And nobody understands what that cost Every soul pours something into me Now I’m drowning in emotions that were never mine to keep And I swear I can feel heartbreak before it’s
fixed I absorb pain like rainwater Falling from everybody else’s storm Carrying ghosts inside my chest Trying to keep broken people warm And every tear they never cried somehow still ends up inside my veins I became an ocean full of other people’s sadness Now I don’t know how to wash away the rain
I can recognize abandonment Just from the way somebody says hello Can see loneliness in silhouettes Crossing empty parking lots alone And when somebody says I’m stressed I hear exhaustion close to giving up Like their soul’s hanging by a thread While the whole world keeps saying toughen up Maybe that’s why I forgive too much Even people that destroy me slow Cause I can see the wounded child inside the monster Nobody else wants to know So I stay
Even when my spirit starts bleeding Give oceans to people who wouldn’t hand me water when I’m sinking Every conversation leaves sediment Another stone inside my chest I keep carrying everybody’s grief Till my soul can barely rest
I absorb pain like rainwater Falling from everybody else’s storm Carrying ghosts inside my chest Trying to keep broken people warm And every tear they never cried somehow still ends up inside my veins I became an ocean full of other people’s sadness Now I don’t know how to wash away the rain
Some nights I swear the feelings don’t belong to me Ghost emotions haunting every room I sleep Every person that ever cried in front of me Still lives somewhere underneath my skin
And I’m tired So tired Of being a home for everybody’s hurt While nobody notices I’m drowning first I absorb pain like rainwater Flooding every corner of my soul Everybody leaves pieces behind Till I don’t feel whole
And every storm I ever held still echoes underneath my skin I became an ocean full of everybody else And now I don’t know where I am
Nobody asks where the rain goes After the storm Nobody wonders what happens to the ocean After it carries every river But I know Yeah, I always know
