About the work
“When Love Runs Dry”
Lyrics & Music by Erika Baum
There’s nothing left to say
All our words have slipped away
We can’t hold on to us
What once was is not enough
And now, my heart’s bleeding out
I got lost in the middle somehow
Was trying so hard to belong
Couldn’t see I had done myself wrong
When love runs dry
It’s like salt in your eyes
You hold on as you try to survive
It’s like waking up from a dream
To find a drought where there once was a stream
And you cry as you ask yourself why...
When love runs dry...
With every breath I take
With every thought, I feel the pain
A pain I’d never known
So deep it pushes you to grow
But in the darkness I see the light
Was untrue to myself all this time
I just have to hold on to myself
As I begin to fill-up my well...
When love runs dry
It’s like salt in your eyes
You hold on as you try to survive
It’s like waking up from a dream
To find a drought where there once was a stream
And you cry as you ask yourself why...
When love runs dry...
And you try but you can’t fight the tide...
You let go and surrender to life.
When love runs dry
You stand up to your lies
Clear the fog that was coverin’ your eyes
Let the rain wash off the pain
As you learn to love yourself again...
But it’s better than living a lie,
When love runs dry.

Title When Love Runs Dry
“When Love Runs Dry”
Lyrics & Music by Erika Baum
There’s nothing left to say
All our words have slipped away
We can’t hold on to us
What once was is not enough
And now, my heart’s bleeding out
I got lost in the middle somehow
Was trying so hard to belong
Couldn’t see I had done myself wrong
When love runs dry
It’s like salt in your eyes
You hold on as you try to survive
It’s like waking up from a dream
To find a drought where there once was a stream
And you cry as you ask yourself why...
When love runs dry...
With every breath I take
With every thought, I feel the pain
A pain I’d never known
So deep it pushes you to grow
But in the darkness I see the light
Was untrue to myself all this time
I just have to hold on to myself
As I begin to fill-up my well...
When love runs dry
It’s like salt in your eyes
You hold on as you try to survive
It’s like waking up from a dream
To find a drought where there once was a stream
And you cry as you ask yourself why...
When love runs dry...
And you try but you can’t fight the tide...
You let go and surrender to life.
When love runs dry
You stand up to your lies
Clear the fog that was coverin’ your eyes
Let the rain wash off the pain
As you learn to love yourself again...
But it’s better than living a lie,
When love runs dry.
