The Water I Won’t Let Fall

Verse 1

I wear a smile like weathered stone,

While a waterfall hides behind my bones.

Everybody hears the words I say,

But never sees what I wash away.

I’ve been holding back a thousand storms,

Afraid they’ll drown the man I know.

So I build another wall each day,

To stop a river no one knows.

Pre-Chorus

The fog rolls in before the sunrise,

Covering every mile ahead.

It knows my name before I wake,

And fills my heart with things unsaid.

Chorus

What falls forever, yet never runs out?

What loses itself, but still finds a way?

What hides in the mist but never disappears?

What keeps moving, though it wants to stay?

Maybe I’m that waterfall,

Holding every tear inside.

Frozen somewhere in the falling,

Too afraid to let them fly.

Self-doubt echoes through the canyon,

Like thunder no one else can hear.

But maybe every crashing answer

Starts with facing what I fear.

Verse 2

Some mornings feel like borrowed daylight,

Like someone stole the colors away.

The fog keeps drawing maps of nowhere,

Then tells me I should lose my way.

I question every step I take,

Every dream I almost knew.

Looking for the man I used to be,

While forgetting I’m still pushing through.

Pre-Chorus

The fog rolls in before the sunrise,

Covering every mile ahead.

It knows my name before I wake,

And fills my heart with things unsaid.

Chorus

What falls forever, yet never runs out?

What loses itself, but still finds a way?

What hides in the mist but never disappears?

What keeps moving, though it wants to stay?

Maybe I’m that waterfall,

Holding every tear inside.

Frozen somewhere in the falling,

Too afraid to let them fly.

Self-doubt echoes through the canyon,

Like thunder no one else can hear.

But maybe every crashing answer

Starts with facing what I fear.

Bridge

What breaks the hardest without a sound?

What grows the strongest after the fall?

What stands at the edge every single day,

Yet never chooses not to call?

Maybe healing is a waterfall…

Not because it never falls apart,

But because it keeps on falling

Without surrendering its heart.

Final Chorus

What falls forever, yet never dies?

What disappears, yet still remains?

What wears a rainbow after every storm

And turns its scars into the rain?

Maybe I’m that waterfall,

Not broken… just breaking free.

Still carrying yesterday’s weight,

Still becoming who I’ll be.

The fog may hide the mountain,

But it cannot move the stone.

And every drop that leaves the cliff

Reminds me I’m not alone.

Outro (Repeat)

What finds the river without a map?

What reaches the ocean without knowing where?

Maybe hope looks like a waterfall…

Falling anyway.

Maybe I’m not losing myself…

Maybe I’m finally letting go.
