Description
It feels like everything ended a long time ago, but my heart continues to stand guard on the lower floors of memory. Where the silence is deafening, like underwater, and thoughts lazily recount old wounds. Each chord is like a sigh after a long argument: no one won, they were just tired of explaining who was right. The world has moved on, but someone is still waiting, not out of hope, but out of habit of keeping the door ajar. The longing here isn't loud, but quiet, restrained, almost domestic. Like a blanket that smells of someone who won't be back. And yet, that sound isn't about pain, but about that strange stubbornness to love even when it was time to let go.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I'm not afraid
Of the war you've come to wage against my sins
I'm not okay
But I can try my best to just pretend
So will you wait me out
Or will you drown me out?
So will you wait me out
Or will you drown me out?
(I have to let you go)
I can wait for you at the bottom
I can stay away if you want me to
I can wait for years if I gotta
Heaven knows I ain't getting over you
I know the pain
That you hide behind the smile on your face
And not a day
Goes by where I don't think I feel the same
So will you wait me out
Or will you drown me out?
So will you wait me out
Or will you drown me out?
I can wait for you at the bottom
I can stay away if you want me to
I can wait for years if I gotta
Heaven knows I ain't getting over you
We'll try again
When we're not so different
We will make amends
'Til then I'll just pretend
Weigh down on me, stay 'til morning
Way down, would you say I'm worthy?
Weigh down on me, stay 'til morning
Way down, would you say I'm worthy?
I can wait for you at the bottom
I can stay away if you want me to
I can wait for years if I gotta
Heaven knows I ain't getting over you
We'll try again
When we're not so different
We will make amends
'Til then I'll just pretend
Weigh down on me, stay 'til morning
Way down, would you say I'm worthy?
Weigh down on me, stay 'til morning
Way down, would you say I'm worthy?
