[Verse 1] I am the water that holds up the world The arms that catch everyone when they fall Two in the morning, your voice on the line I pour myself out, every single time I feel with you, not just for you, you see No dial to turn down what lives inside me I take your storm in like it's mine to keep And still smile at daylight after no sleep [Pre-Chorus] They always come They always come Because they know I will not run They always come They always come But who comes when I'm the broken one [Chorus] I am an ocean that drowns everyone Made of water but still coming undone You bring me your fire, I bring you the rain I hold the whole world but I can't hold my pain The ocean erodes, the ocean erodes I give til there's nothing but the giving that shows Do you know how it breaks you to be made of the sea And still be so thirsty Still be so thirsty [Verse 2] I mask it so well, you'd never know The fractures beneath this careful show I care with my whole cells, down to the bone Our love doesn't do halfway or alone The 2am texts, the "can we talk" I always show up, I always knock But when was the last time, you tell me when Someone held me before I broke and then [Pre-Chorus] They always come They always come Because they know I will not run They always come They always come But who comes when I'm the broken one [Chorus] I am an ocean that drowns everyone Made of water but still coming undone You bring me your fire, I bring you the rain I hold the whole world but I can't hold my pain The ocean erodes, the ocean erodes I give til there's nothing but the giving that shows Do you know how it breaks you to be made of the sea And still be so thirsty Still be so thirsty [Bridge] I am not a doorway I am not a floor I am not limitless I cannot give more I am tired and tender I am fractures and faith I am neurodivergent And I deserve to be saved I am not too much I am not broken for this need Reciprocity is not selfishness It is how the ocean feeds [Final Chorus] I am an ocean that deserves to be filled Made of water with a thirst to be stilled I gave you my rain, now give me your pour I held the whole world, let someone hold more The ocean restores, the ocean restores When someone finally comes and stands at her shore To love with the ferocity I've given away To finally say *You matter today* To finally say *I'm not going away* [Outro] When is someone going to be something for me It's not selfish It's survival It's survival It's survival
