Kira Rae - Watermarks Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pristine pages in my diary
Trying to keep them clean and tidy
But your love seeped right through
Like watermarks, they speak the truth
Can't erase what you left behind
These beautiful stains on my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Mama's lullabies still echo in my head
Mixed with memories of words you said
Perfect lines getting blurred
By drops of you that still disturb

[Chorus]
Watermarks, they never fade
No matter how I try to wash away
These beautiful wounds and paper cuts
Reminders of our f*cked up love
Can't control how deep you stain
Like ink bleeding through my veins

[Verse 2]
Nadia taught me how to guard my heart
Devon showed me how it falls apart
Now I'm sitting here at 3 AM
Watching teardrops make my mascara bend
Every partnership leaves its trace
Like fingerprints I can't erase

[Bridge]
Sometimes I wonder if I'm crazy
Trying to keep everything neat and lazy
But emotions don't follow rules
They spread like water, make me look like a fool
These permanent impressions you left
Are the prettiest kind of mess

[Chorus]
Watermarks, they never fade
No matter how I try to wash away
These beautiful wounds and paper cuts
Reminders of our f*cked up love
Can't control how deep you stain
Like ink bleeding through my veins

[Outro]
Let it bleed, let it stain
These imperfections keep me sane
Every mark tells a story
Of love that wasn't meant to be
But damn, it's beautiful somehow
These watermarks you left behind now
