[Verse 1]
I opened up, and sorrow came down
I'm learning unrequited love should not be found
She lifts me up, she tears me down
She doesn't mean to, but she holds me, controls me
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been underwater so long
I've been, I've been underwater
I'm lookin' for a hand to hold on
I'm reaching, she don't see me
[Chorus]
I feel like the moment's already gone
If she was in love, would have said it by now
I can write her poems, that ain't what she wants
I'll never be enough, so I let it ride out like
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh (Mm)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
My soul stood up and stared me down
Said, "I have walked you down this road, and I am proud
They'll lift you up to tear you down
But there's a person that you must be, just trust me"
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been underwater so long
I've been, I've been underwater
I'm lookin' for a hand to hold on
I'm reaching, she don't see me
[Chorus]
I feel like the moment's already gone
If she was in love, would have said it by now
I can write her poems, that ain't what she wants
I'll never be enough, so I let it ride out like
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh (Mm)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh (Oh)
[Outro]
I'll tell ya how I see her, tell ya how I need her
Her voice is like a song that I could never get out
But my heart is unrequited, so I'll be forced to hide it
Music made in love that could never make a sound

To me, my music isn’t that sad! It might carry a lot of emotion, it might carry a lot of weight
sometimes, but I feel like it’s always hopeful and the main message is always one of perseverance and resilience. But this song feels like an all-the-way sad song. I gave in! love the idea of writing song...
