Song Description

when you know the relationship is over but you keep trying anyway

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
I'm staring at the hollow space
Where your reflection used to be
I'm tracing shadows on my face
Trying to find what's left of me
The salt is stinging on my skin
A ghost of every promise made
I don't know where you end or begin
Or why I'm still begging you to stay.
(Chorus)
Why do these tears keep falling?
Why do you treat me this way?
Why do I answer when you're calling?
Why can't I find the words to say?
I'm anchored to a sinking ship
Watching the water rise like a tide
There's a dying prayer upon my lip
For the truth you keep tucked away inside.
(Verse 2)
What did you think you were doing?
When you pulled the rug from under me?
What were you doing with her?
In the dark, where you tried to flee
I remember when my name was home
When I was the one you held so tight
But now I'm standing here alone
Drafting apologies in the middle of the night.
(Bridge)
At one time, I really mattered
I was the map, I was the light
But now I'm just something you've scattered
Like broken glass in the fading night
I'm not so sure if you ever loved me
Or if I was just a place to rest
I'm looking for the strength to be free
To pull this arrow out of my chest.
(Chorus)
Why do these tears keep falling?
Why do you treat me this way?
Why do I answer when you're calling?
Why can't I find the words to say?
What did you think you were doing?
What were you doing with her?
At one time, I really mattered
But now, I'm not so sure.No, I'm not so sure...
If the damage is done.
I'm not so sure...
If I'm still the only one.
(Fade out)
Why do I answer?
Why do I stay?
I don't have the words...
I don't have the words today.
