If Heartbreak Needs a Bathroom

가사

[Verse 1] I sit on the porcelain throne With a paper moon above The bathroom fan keeps turning Like it’s trying to give up Then the water finds my cheeks In a cold and sudden spray I stare into the cabinet mirror And let the moment stay [Pre-Chorus] I never planned to feel this much In a room this small and white [Chorus] Oh, the water splashes on my cheeks And the pee runs down below I’m having my most tender thoughts Where nobody will know Oh, the water splashes on my cheeks While the pipes hum soft and low If heartbreak needs a bathroom Then this is where I’ll go [Verse 2] The tile has little flowers That have faded into blue I count them while I’m waiting For the world to feel less new A yellow drop beside the drain Catches the morning sun Even here, my body keeps Doing what it has to get done [Pre-Chorus] I never meant to make a shrine Of every awkward truth [Chorus] Oh, the water splashes on my cheeks And the pee runs down below I’m having my most tender thoughts Where nobody will know Oh, the water splashes on my cheeks While the pipes hum soft and low If heartbreak needs a bathroom Then this is where I’ll go [Bridge] Maybe dignity is overrated Maybe tears and toilet water rhyme Maybe every private little failure Is a way of staying alive [Final Chorus] Oh, the water splashes on my cheeks And the pee runs down below I’m still here in this little room And that’s enough to know Oh, the water splashes on my cheeks But I’m starting to let it go If heartbreak needs a bathroom I can leave when I’m ready to go [Outro] The fan keeps turning overhead The tiles forget my name I wash my hands, I fix my hair And step back out again
