Lines in the water

By Gillespie
Verse 1
I pulled a weight from the water,
old eyes staring back at me,
scales worn thin like weathered pages,
a story carved deep in the sea.

Chorus
Scars don’t break you, they keep you alive,
every mark says you fought to survive.
I could claim you, but I know —
sometimes the greatest love is letting go.

Verse 2
Hooks of battles long forgotten,
rusting trophies in your skin,
you’ve carried time like heavy anchors,
yet here you are, still swimming in.

Chorus
Scars don’t break you, they keep you alive,
every mark says you fought to survive.
I could claim you, but I know —
sometimes the greatest love is letting go.

Bridge
I saw myself in that weathered frame,
every struggle, every flame.
And with a hand that could’ve held you fast,
I gave you freedom at last.

Chorus
Scars don’t break you, they keep you alive,
every mark says you fought to survive.
I could claim you, but I know —
sometimes the greatest love is letting go.

I throw
Lines in the water,
then nothing but the tide.
