### Verse 1

There was a river underneath us,
running quiet through the floor.
I could hear it in the silence
every time you closed the door.

You were standing in the doorway,
light falling across your face.
I kept mistaking your reflection
for the person I once knew.

I never saw the water rising.
I only felt the cold.

### Pre-Chorus

And the deeper I kept reaching,
the less of us I found.

Something beautiful was sinking,
and I couldn't pull it out.

### Chorus

Black water,
pulling everything below.

Black water,
where the things we loved still go.

I kept diving through the darkness,
trying to find what we had been.

But the deeper I went under,
the less I knew where I had been.

Black water.

Black water.

And I don't know
if I'll come back the same.

### Verse 2

There were nights the moon was missing,
and the streets were holding rain.

I could feel you getting farther
without watching you walk away.

We were speaking through the surface,
never reaching what was underneath.

Every word became a ripple,
every silence grew its teeth.

I kept thinking if I waited,
the current would turn around.

But some rivers only take you
where you're too afraid to drown.

### Pre-Chorus 2

And the deeper I kept reaching,
the less of us remained.

I was holding onto shadows
with my hands beneath the waves.

### Chorus

Black water,
pulling everything below.

Black water,
where the things we loved still go.

I kept diving through the darkness,
trying to find what we had been.

But the deeper I went under,
the less I knew where I had been.

Black water.

Black water.

And I don't know
if I'll come back the same.

### Bridge

Maybe I was never meant
to save what wouldn't stay.

Maybe some things disappear
long before they fade away.

I saw your face beneath the surface,
reaching back for mine.

But when I tried to touch you,
you dissolved into the tide.

And suddenly—

I wasn't scared of drowning.

I was scared
of coming back up.

### Breakdown

So let it pull.

Let it take
every word we never said.

Let it bury
every promise
we were too afraid to keep.

I won't fight the current.

Not tonight.

Not anymore.

### Final Chorus

Black water,
pulling everything below.

Black water,
taking places I once called home.

I kept diving through the darkness,
but there was nothing left to find.

Just the shape of who we used to be
moving underneath the tide.

Black water.

Black water.

And for the first time,

I let it go.

### Outro

The river keeps moving.

The night stays still.

And somewhere underneath the surface,

there is a version of us

I will never reach again.
