Every night I wake
To the lonely drops of water
Waiting for it to fill
Until its enough to drown

Trickle-drop-splash-thud
I hop into the bathtub
Hoping to wash away my sins
Trying to drown my fears

The warm water comforts
Yet it leaks leaving me cold
It reminds me of my love
A time my heart was full

Broken hearts are like leaking pipes
With the water being sincere words
Each time you speak the heart empties
Until the words drown you out again

I tell of this love and shout of its joy
Yet the one-sided feelings overflow
Until the pipes burst forth
Gushing water onto the floor

Now every night it trickles
Never empty but never full
The sound of water drops
Remind me of broken hearts
