[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
My heartbreak flows
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse
My heartbreak flows
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse
[Verse 1]
Starting out at the sea
Drowning like I can’t breathe
Till I found the strength to leave to the land
Sucking back into me
I’m evaporating
Till I’m nothing but cracked dirt and sand
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t know what I am grieving
Name or face or time or feeling
[Chorus]
My heartbreak flows
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse
My heartbreak flows
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse
[Verse 2]
Can anything really grow
On the scorched earth below?
Dreaming of green and gold once again
And when the damn bursts I know
I’ll come out cleansed and cold
Love a bit less so I won’t forget
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t know what I’m grieving
Name or face or time or feeling
[Chorus]
My heartbreak flows
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse
[Bridge]
Everything you took from me
Everything I had to leave
Everything I’ve got to be
Is coming, coming to me
Everything you took from me
Everything I had to leave
Everything I’ve got to be
Is coming, coming to me
Coming, coming to me
Coming, coming to me
Coming, coming to me
Into me
[Chorus]
My heartbreak flows
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse
My heartbeat flows
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

This song is really about loss and grief, and how it never really goes away just dries up inside of you… I actually wrote the lyrics as a poem first then adapted them to the beautiful haunting electronic track that the producer Cora Novoa sent me. It seems like quite a sad song but there is a really...
