[Intro]

Yeah, “you’re draining”, that’s what she said

And it’s been echoing in my head

Yeah, “you’re draining”, that’s what she said

And it’s been echoing in my head

She said “you’re draining” like I’m a leak she can’t patch

Like my love took more energy than it ever gave back

I wanted to argue, “No I’m not”, defend my name

But late nights alone made me ask, "was it true was it pain?"

Did I call you for peace but bring my storms to

Your door?

Did I ask you to fix me when you was already sore?

Draining, draining, word stuck like thorns

I gave you my heart but maybе I took your light more

I ain’t mad you said it, I’m mad it might be real

And I don’t know how to lovе without making you kneel

You said I’m draining and maybe you’re right

Maybe my pain poured out and flooded your nights

I’m sorry if loving me felt like carrying weight

I'm learning now, love shouldn’t suffocate

You said I’m draining, I’m hearing you clear

So I’m working on me, so I don’t bleed on you here

Being frustrating

Seventeenth August, Sona gonna help me see

Why “I love you” turned into “you’re draining me”

Was it fear? Was it need? Was I too much, too loud?

Did I make you my therapist instead of my crown?

I don’t wanna be the reason your chest got heavy

I wanna be the peace, but first I gotta get steady

So I’m taking the word, not as hate, as a map

“Draining”, places in me that still need to be patched

If we never talk again, I’ll still thank you for that truth

‘Cause it might save the next person and save future me too

That's the heartfelt truth

Draining, yeah, I heard you

Now let me learn... how not to

Love without drowning you

Yeah, I heard you, yeah
