Cry me a River

[Hook]
You hide behind bottles, behind all your pain,
Seven years sober, but the scars still remain.
Said your grandpa’s ghost was the weight you can’t lose,
But you passed me the burden — I never could choose.
You’re drowning in your legacy, lost in the tide,
But I won’t go under, I stand on the side.

[Verse 1]
You called me your anchor, but anchors don’t save,
They drag you down deeper, they chain to the grave.
Your sorrow was heavy, your silence was loud,
You wore all your trauma like a funeral shroud.
Said you were stubborn, said healing was slow,
But you built me a prison instead of a home.
Every “forever” was debt in disguise,
And I saw the truth every time in your eyes.

[Hook]
You hide behind bottles, behind all your pain,
Seven years sober, but the scars still remain.
Said your grandpa’s ghost was the weight you can’t lose,
But you passed me the burden — I never could choose.
You’re drowning in your legacy, lost in the tide,
But I won’t go under, I stand on the side.

[Verse 2]
You talked of routines like a child in fear,
But love ain’t a schedule, it’s not chains to wear.
Cried when I canceled, guilt-tripped when I stayed,
Every night on the phone was the price that I paid.
You bottled emotions until they would break,
Then handed me pieces I didn’t create.
I gave you my silence, I gave you my truth,
But I never found love, I just carried your youth.

[Bridge]
Dream land was fiction, red strings just lies,
Angel numbers don’t cover the cracks in your life.
Your grandpa’s gone, but you made me his stand,
And I’m not your savior, just a broken man.

[Hook/Outro]
You hide behind bottles, behind all your pain,
Seven years sober, but the scars still remain.
Said your grandpa’s ghost was the weight you can’t lose,
But you passed me the burden — I never could choose.
You’re drowning in your legacy, lost in the tide,
But I won’t go under, I stand on the side.
