Under Quiet Water

**Verse 1**

I watched the ceiling bend

In the dark above our bed

You said nothing at all

But I heard everything instead

Your hand rested next to mine

Close enough to almost touch

We were worlds apart

In a room that felt too much

**Pre-Chorus**

There’s a distance in your eyes

I don’t know how to cross

Every word I try to find

Feels already lost

**Chorus**

We’re sinking under quiet water

No waves, no sound

Just drifting farther

I hold my breath

But you don’t move

If love is still here

Why does it feel like

I’m losing you?

**Verse 2**

The morning barely breaks

Through the curtains we don’t close

You turn away from me

Like I’m someone you don’t know

I trace the outline of your back

Like it’s already memory

Trying to memorize the shape

Before it leaves me

**Pre-Chorus**

I don’t want a fight

I don’t want the truth

I just want the version of you

That still looks at me like you used to

**Chorus**

We’re sinking under quiet water

No crash, no blame

Just getting colder

You’re right beside me

But out of reach

If love is still here

Why can’t you

Look at me?

**Bridge (soft layered harmonies)**

Say something

Even if it breaks me

Silence is heavier

Than anything you could say

I’d rather drown

In the deep end

Than float like this

Halfway

**Outro (stripped back, almost whispered)**

The room is still

Your breathing slow

I close my eyes

And let you go

Not with anger

Not with hate

Just quiet water

And the weight
