Katelyn Tarver - Sinking In Lyrics






Like a childhood room when you're home for a long weekend
Everything's the same but it all feels different

I remember when I used to
Know that I was safe next to you
Now I'm standing in the same place
And I don't feel anything at all

'Cause letting go of you feels like I'm letting go of me
Without you here I wouldn't who I am or who to be
If I walk away I'm scared I'll never see you again
But I'm fighting for a memory, I'm starting to forget
'Cause the thought of losing you is sinking in

You were the ground that I used to stand on
Now the familiar's gone and I'm trying to hold on

I've been trying to resist it
Tryna keep it at a distance, oh
But I'm standing in the same place
And I don't feel anything at all

'Cause letting go of you feels like I'm letting go of me
Without you here I wouldn't who I am or who to be
If I walk away I'm scared I'll never see you again
But I'm fighting for a memory, I'm starting to forget
'Cause the thought of losing you is sinking in

Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here

Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Don't leave me here

'Cause letting go of you feels like I'm letting go of me
Without you here I wouldn't who I am or who to be
If I walk away I'm scared I'll never see you again
But I'm fighting for a memory, I'm starting to forget
'Cause the thought of losing you is sinking in

Katelyn Tarver Sinking In Comments
  1. D.... &....

    For me, this song describes how I feel all the time. I get separation anxiety and everytime I'm apart from my family i have a pit in my stomach because Im so afraid they'll die before I get back. Irrational fear bred from to much death in my life.

  2. K.... M....

    Of course I find this song during the holidays. When I feel the absence of everyone I once had the most.

  3. m.... ....

    Well. Damn ...

  4. W.... W....

    This is a sad song

  5. E.... D....

    Its interesting how the sense of loss of romantic love she is expressing in this song is echoed in others who have experienced a loved ones death. It makes it all that more apparent that heartbreak is truly as painful as we percieve it.

  6. V.... A....

    Why isn't this virl

  7. R.... ....

    I'm curious if the empty seat was a grandparent.

  8. T.... D....

    This an this https://youtu.be/wrT9y1zX5Xc song best 2 songs on the internet right now 🤧😦😭

  9. T.... D....

    Crazy to think the whole time she was on Big Time Rush she could sing better than all of them.

  10. K.... K....

    As soon as I heard this song 2 months ago, I remembered my grandpa who died 6 years ago. He is one of the best people I ever knew. Thank yo Kately for reminding me to him. Love your work and keep it up!

  11. J.... M....

    I can relate. After nine years it's over. And my heart hurts more then I thought it could. And this song is me. I really like it no matter how sad it makes me.

  12. S.... A....

    This song really represent my feelings everytime i remember my dad. He passed away 3 years ago and i still feel the same until now. Thank you for making this song :)

  22. J.... O....

    I lost my dad June 24, 2014, the last time I saw him was June 1st. 2014, I had a birthday party for him at my house, I had my sister, my 3 nephews, their girlfriends, my best friend( BUUDDY) their dog and my mom and husband. I was leaving for Calgary to visit my other sister then next day. My sister and dad didn't like my husband as he cheated on me in the past but had just started letting him back into the family fold, so having this party , at my house was the best day of my life. They didn't come to my wedding and because of a long ongoing health issue I could never have kids. So this was truly the best day, ever. We played kerplunk and perfection and ate Chinese food. Two days before I was suppose to come home from Calgary , I got a phone call that dad was in a coma. So I got the next flight home, sitting on a plane, crying my eyes out with all these strangers but everyone on that westjet flight was kind and attentive . So I went straight to the hospital and held his hand and said my goodbyes, he was in a coma so I dont know if he knew I was there or not. Listening to Katelyn's song, i feel like she gets me and many others. I wrote this letter for 2 reasons, to thank Katelyn for writing and singing such beautiful music and to remind others, tell people you love and care about them, forgiveness is POWER! Nobody is perfect, let grudges go, enjoy the small stuff. I hope everyone has a great life and never feels alone. PEACE TO ALL!!! I lost my Godfather 2 weeks ago, my dad's brother, I'm so glad he's not suffering anymore. I will miss you Uncle Dougy!!!

    J.... O....

    Thanks to the 2 people, that gave me a thumbs up. I hope you read it and took something from it.

  23. R.... ....

    Katelyn Tarver and NF would make such an amazing combo like a song with the two of them would just blow me right the fuck away lol for real though.

  24. D.... L....

    I really like her lyrics very relatable, makes me hope she writes her own music. If so it us magic, I would like some edge but still fantastic.

  25. C.... J....

    Holy ❤

  26. g.... c....

    IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE I LAST SAW HER ON IDOL
    i didnt know she was still making music

  27. s.... j....

    damn I could feel every word of it and its sinking in....me a guy can't help but have my eyes teary upon listening to this...what a really great soulful song and a talented artist..."you dont know" is just as a wonderful piece that led me here...thanks Katelyn

  30. I.... K....

    You have a such a beautiful voice, I feel your songs

  31. C.... B....

    😭😭😭😭😭

  32. P.... A....

    Katelyn, eres una gran artista, tienes mi apoyo, sigue así, Nunca cambies.

  33. S.... D....

    My best friend decided I wasn’t worth loving anymore, and just walked away. It’s been two weeks since he walked away, and I still cry myself to sleep.
    I feel like my world is broken, I miss him, and I feel like part of me died when he walked away

  34. J.... F....

    My god this is amazing how is this not getting radio play

  35. p.... p....

    Someone may go away, but its memories still on:')

  36. M.... ....

    Like a childhood room when you're home for a long weekend
    Everything's the same but it all feels different
    I remember when I used to
    Know that I was safe next to you
    Now I'm standing in the same place
    And I don't feel anything at all
    'Cause letting go of you feels like I'm letting go of me
    Without you here I won't know who I am or who to be
    If I walk away I'm scared I'll never see you again
    But I'm fighting for a memory, I'm starting to forget
    'Cause the thought of losing you is sinking in
    You were the ground that I used to stand on

    'Cause the thought of losing you is sinking in
    Don't leave me here
    Don't leave me here
    Don't leave me here
    Don't leave me here
    Don't leave me here
    Don't leave me here
    Don't leave me here
    Don't leave me here
    Don't leave me here
    Don't leave me here
    Don't leave me here
    Don't leave me here
    'Cause letting go of you feels like I'm letting go of me
    Without you here I won't know who I am or who to be
    If I walk away I'm scared I'll never see you again
    But I'm fighting for a memory, I'm starting to forget

  37. E.... R....

    my fav song♡
    I love you katelyn

  38. L.... D....

    Cannot get out of your voice, TARVER

  39. B.... ....

    My heart aches 💔

  40. M.... ....

    speachless

  41. H.... S....

    This song gives me chills because it is so FREAKING relatable

  42. M.... J....

    "If I walk away, I'm scared I'll never see you again..." - really cuts deep
    You don't want to give up, because it could mean losing that person forever.
    "But I'm fighting for a memory I'm starting to forget..."
    But maybe they're already lost and you just can't accept it.
    I feel like this happens often between some good friends. Sometimes they just drift away, and before you know it, you're holding onto something that doesn't really exist anymore--and that you can't really remember. And, when it finally sinks in, it just hurts.

  44. C.... P....

    And just when I thought I couldnt tear up about her any further... And here I am, doing just that... :'(

  45. T.... G....

    LOVEEE THIS SONG!!

  46. E.... L....

    I try not to get attached to people. But, it’s hard when all you want is someone to understand. I’m not a very social person while my friends are. I know there’s going to be a day where they’re going to find someone better and I’m not ready for it.

  47. L.... W....

    I love her songs ❤️

  48. K.... J....

    Cause letting go of you feel like I'm. Letting go of me....😧😟😢😪

  49. M.... M....

    This song hit me

    M.... M....

    💕💕💕💕💕

  50. B.... A....

    One of my best friends (that I fell in love for) is turning away from me and falling for one of my friends, it's hurting so much to let him go but I'm trying to keep my distance cause he's so distant from me now and this song makes me think of him

  51. M.... B....

    I love this song and right now I identify with it, I love you Katelyn <3

  52. A.... T....

    Isn’t this the girl from Big Time rush anyways GREAT SONG

    A.... T....

    Jo is all grown up. (thank you!!)

  53. 2.... d....

    Don't leave me here.😔💔

  54. m.... g....

    Can someone please make a karaoke version or a guitar cover of this? I need the instrumental..

  55. M.... K....

    This song feels like having an emotional yard sale. Selling off feelings of the past that you think are no longer relevant and have outgrown. Yet as a stranger walks away with a part of your life's history you can't help but feel a little anxiety and uncertainty.

    So damn good. Don't stop doing what you are doing.

    M.... K....

    Yessssss, max! That's it! Haha. Thank you.

    M.... K....

    Wow. I love this

  56. J.... Y....

    3 years ago the 28th you had your stroke, 3 yrs ago the 29th you died and left me all alone. I stayed in our house because it reminded me of you and I could feel u and ur presence here daily and I never really felt alone. Today I lost our home I lost it because of my illness and couldnt afford the payments any longer and I have to be out on the 3rd anniversary of your death. I'm scared I'm so scared because I know now that I am truly alone and ill never be able to feel you by my side again. I miss you morr then anyone even knows and I know I'm loosing you all over again now and I dont want to go on with out you or at least your presence. I miss you Carl and I still love only you even 3 yrs later. Why did you have to leave me alone again this time for good

    J.... Y....

    So sorrg. I hope things will get better. I know it can be so hard to move on and live life without a person you loved so much. Much Love and hugs to you! 💙💖💐🌸

    J.... Y....

    @GeT iT thank you. First time in my life ive been this affected by the death of someone but I can in all honestly say it was also the first time id truly been in love with someone as well

  57. M.... N....

    thank you!

  59. H.... K....

    I remember her from American Juniors way back when. I never paid attention to her because 12 year old me was only interested in the 12(ish) year old boys, but I still remember her name. This song is absolutely beautiful.

  60. E.... ....

    Katelyn, you are mesmerizing! Keep up the good work.

  61. I.... K....

    I'd like to think that the YOU in the song is referring to the old happy me, back when i felt alive, when my life didn't crumble over my head.

  62. T.... i....

    I love your song, and i love u!

  63. A.... w....

    My favorite female musician since "you don't know". Thank you, Katelyn for saying through your music all of my feelings ❤ hope the best for you

  72. S.... B....

    I guess maybe I’ll use this place as an outlet. This song explains how I feel right now, and it’s a drowning emotion. You became my bestfriend in the process of becoming my boyfriend, and now the thought that I can’t have you in either forms baffles me. I’ve done everything right, kept my distance when you asked, acted cordial when we would hangout with our mutual friends; you just had to go an kiss me when we were alone. Despite me not flirting, and me not bouncing between things. I loved the kiss, and I love you. You hate me now.. even though you decided you didn’t even really want me. It’s confusing, but I’m terrified if I lose you... I’ll be losing half of me. :/

  73. R.... C....

    Now I want to know who was supposed to be seating on that chair.

    R.... C....

    Here twin brother that passed away

    R.... C....

    Jody York That's tragic.

  76. L.... T....

    I want her to blow up just as much as i want to be our beautiful secret😭😭😭

  77. D.... Y....

  90. M.... B....

    Another masterpiece by katelyn tarver!! This song is sooo beautiful.... I totally wasn’t crying....... who am I kidding... but this song is so beautiful just like every other song you have ever written. You have the most gifted voice, and I’m so glad that I found you on YouTube a while back! You are my favorite singer/songwriter and have been for a while, and I really look up to you. Someday, I hope to start sharing songs that I write, and I hope you will maybe listen to a few of my songs! Ofc I’m not even close to as good with singing as you are, but I still want to share my voice in a positive way. Keep up the amazing work, and I am looking forward to seeing what other masterpieces you create in the future!

    M.... B....

    Melanie! Thank you so much.

  91. C.... J....

    I’m not understanding the concept of having her be with her family if it’s about a relationship. Her relationship made her happy around her family and now that it’s ended she’s unhappy around her family? Any perspective?

    C.... J....

    Hey Christie! I wrote this song about loss. Whether it's the loss of a romantic partner, a family member, a set of beliefs that you might not believe anymore, something or someone you depended on that let you down... so to me the empty seat represents that thing you lost, and the family dinner party is how it feels sometime to have to continue to exist and be happy in spite of feeling sad or let down. Does that help? Thanks for watching!

    C.... J....

    Katelyn Tarver oh okay thank you, that clears a lot up. I think I naturally assume romantic loss but this song felt to me like how it was losing my mother-in-Law. Thanks for clarifying 💛

  92. A.... S....

    'cause letting go of you feels like I'm letting of me...

  93. N.... F....

    I’m not crying, you’re crying

  94. K.... H....

    So many tears and screams while sitting in my car playing this on repeat in my driveway while my three baby boys are asleep in their beds 😭😭fuck it hurts
