“‘Screaming Underwater’ represents the first stage of grief, denial, when you know the relationship is over but it’s still too hard to admit. I wrote it alone in my bedroom, the day before my breakup and it was the first record I ever wrote on piano. During the time that this song was written, I rea...
[Verse 1]
Think I need a new pillowcase
'Cause I've been crying on this one all night
It just reminds me that we're close to breaking
Guess I'll take the blame if it's mine
I had to put my phone on airplane mode
'Cause I don't wanna be waiting on you
You know I am and it's been getting lonely
And your silence hurts more than the truth
[Pre-Chorus]
That I messed up, I'm sorry
It's my fault, it's on me
I know you're hurting too, but
[Chorus]
Feel like I'm screaming underwater without you (Ah-ah)
Feel like I'm drowning every time I cry louder (Ah-ah)
And the weight of all our problеms
Got me halfway to the bottom
Feel like I'm scrеaming underwater without you
[Verse 2]
Think I need some new medicine
'Cause I still get sick when I think about us
And I've been waiting for the drugs to kick in
But they won't when you're not in my arms
[Pre-Chorus]
I messed up, I'm sorry
It's my fault, yeah, it's on me
I know you're hurting too, but
[Chorus]
Feel like I'm screaming underwater without you (Ah-ah)
Feel like I'm drowning every time I cry louder (Ah-ah)
And the weight of all our problems
Got me halfway to the bottom
Feel like I'm screaming underwater without you (Ah-ah)
[Bridge]
I miss you (I miss you)
I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
I want you (I want you)
To be happy
But are you screaming underwater without me?
Feel like you're drowning every time that you miss me?
If we end up at the bottom
From the weight of all our problems
Will you let me go to save yourself?
'Cause I won't let you go to save myself
[Chorus]
Feel like I'm screaming underwater without you (Ah-ah, screaming underwater)
Feel like I'm drowning every time I cry louder (Ah-ah, every time that I cry louder)
And the weight of all our problems
Got me halfway to the bottom (Ah, ah, ah)
Feel like I'm screaming underwater without you (Without)
[Outro]
I'm screaming underwater without you
