Water Runs Dry
The story behind the song
"Water Runs Dry" captures the painful silence that can creep into a relationship when communication breaks down, leaving two people drifting apart. It's a plea to confront the distance before love withers away, urging a couple not to make "the biggest mistake of our lives" by pushing love away. Written and produced by Babyface, this track from Boyz II Men's 1994 album II explores the desperate hope of mending a connection before it's too late. It plays like a heartfelt appeal to rekindle what's lost, before the well of affection truly runs dry.
