Small town Canadian with a love for music.
Im Walters Fallborn Darrin Waltersin rural Ontario. I write songs that bleed. Songs about grief, addiction, regret, and the quiet fight to stay human in a world that keeps trying to harden you. Ive been through itjail, relapse, losing people I couldnt save, nearly losing myself more times than I can count. Music was the rope I climbed out with. Its never been about sounding perfectits about being real. Raw lyrics. Acoustic grit. The kind of songs that crack something open in you. If youve ever felt too much, if youve carried weight that no one else could seethis music is for you. Not to fix you, but to remind you youre not alone. Through my nonprofit, Guitars for Kids Oxford, I help put instruments in the hands of young people who need a way out, just like I did. Because sometimes one chord can save a life. This isnt a career. This is survival turned into song. And Im just getting started.

Lyrics
[Verse 1] C              Am I dont know how to hold this its heavier than pain F              G Each heartbeat feels like thunder as I weather this new strain C              Am You see beneath the surface the cracks beneath my skin F              G You dont flinch when I tremble Im learning how to begin [Chorus] F              C Youre the weight that pulls me closer in this quiet, trembling night Am              G A love thats raw and steady softly guiding me toward the light F              C And though Im scared of falling you catch me when I sway Am              G In your arms, I find a home a safety that wont fray [Verse 2] C              Am No grand scenes in our story just whispers in the dark F              G Like morning coffee waiting handed with a spark C              Am You sit beside me falling apart and somehow it feels right F              G The simple truth of presence grounding me each night [Chorus same as above] F              C Youre the weight that pulls me closer in this quiet, trembling night Am              G A love thats raw and steady softly guiding me toward the light F              C And though Im scared of falling you catch me when I sway Am              G In your arms, I find a home a safety that wont fray [Bridge] Am              F I still brace for the storm clouds expect the roof to cave C              G But youre the calm in chaos the haven that I crave Am              F Unlearning all my running finding peace in who you are C              G With every breath unspoken Im healing from these scars [Verse 3] C              Am How do I say thank you when fear ties up my tongue F              G You teach me how to linger to stay instead of run C              Am With every silent promise through gestures soft and true F              G I find my heart unfolding in everything you do [Chorus repeat] F              C Youre the weight that pulls me closer in this quiet, trembling night Am              G A love thats raw and steady softly guiding me toward the light F              C And though Im scared of falling you catch me when I sway Am              G In your arms, I find a home a safety that wont fray [Outro slow and stripped back] F              C Youre the quiet I never knew I needed the peace within my stormy sea Am              G Ive written pain for years but your love is my first victory
