[Verse 1] You talk like thunder under glass, Every echo’s got a past to chase. You wear heartbreak like a fashion, Display it neat and call it grace. The mirrors bend your reflection, But you still swear it’s fixed in place. I tried to meet you in the silence, But silence always turns to blame. [Chorus 1] I can’t pull you from your shadows, Every light just makes them grow. You want reassurance, not a friend, And I’m tired of being your hope. You drown yourself in every ripple, Then tell everyone the ocean’s cruel. I wish you’d see the calm in me, Before I start to drift from you. [Verse 2] You turn confession into theater, With curtain calls for every pain. Every sigh’s a coded warning, Every laugh rehearsed again. You build a stage from tiny moments, Make the smallest slights feel grand. But I can’t keep being your witness — Not every hardship has been planned. [Chorus 2] I can’t pull you from your shadow, When every word just feeds the flame. You want a truth that fits your story, Not the part that says you’ve changed. You drown yourself in every ripple, Then tell everyone the ocean’s cruel. I wish you’d see the calm in me, Before I start to drift from you. [Bridge] Maybe peace was never loud enough for you, Maybe healing felt like losing the view. I’ve run out of soft replies and careful tones, And I’m tired of standing still in your storm. [Verse 3] So here’s the quiet I was saving, No noise and no lines to cross. I hope you find some kind of meaning In the echoes of what we lost. I’ll keep a piece of the beginning, When it all still felt brand new. But I can’t fix what’s made to fracture Every union wears in two. [Final Chorus] I can’t pull you from your shadow, So I’m learning how to let it be. You want saving, not connection, And I’m done pretending that’s on me. You drown yourself in every ripple, Then tell everyone the ocean’s cruel. I wish you’d see the calm in me, Before I start to drift from you.
