[Verse 1]
You kick off your shoes
Tell me about your day
You say you’re so alone
I’m two feet away
You laugh at the wrong part
Miss the weight in my breath
I’m drowning in your stories
You don’t see I’m a mess
[Chorus]
I’m screaming in silence
Silent between my teeth
You’re lying on my shoulder
But you’re miles out of reach
I’m here in the corner
Of the room you never read
I love you in the spaces
Between the things you said
[Verse 2]
You scroll through your memories
Show me someone I’m not
I nod in the right places
Till my heartbeat stops
You say I’m your safe place
But you never look inside
You trace my outline gently
Skip the parts I hide
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
If I vanished at midnight
Left the light on
Left the key
Would you notice the echo
Where my shadow used to be
I keep holding this quiet
Like a glass about to break
[low vocal register] Loving you feels like waiting
For a sound you never make
[Chorus]
You kick off your shoes
Tell me about your day
You say you’re so alone
I’m two feet away
You laugh at the wrong part
Miss the weight in my breath
I’m drowning in your stories
You don’t see I’m a mess
[Chorus]
I’m screaming in silence
Silent between my teeth
You’re lying on my shoulder
But you’re miles out of reach
I’m here in the corner
Of the room you never read
I love you in the spaces
Between the things you said
[Verse 2]
You scroll through your memories
Show me someone I’m not
I nod in the right places
Till my heartbeat stops
You say I’m your safe place
But you never look inside
You trace my outline gently
Skip the parts I hide
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
If I vanished at midnight
Left the light on
Left the key
Would you notice the echo
Where my shadow used to be
I keep holding this quiet
Like a glass about to break
[low vocal register] Loving you feels like waiting
For a sound you never make
[Chorus]
Musikstyle
Smoky late-night alt-R&B ballad, sparse electric piano and distant reverb-drenched guitar over a slow, side-chained sub pulse. Male vocals close to the mic, nearly spoken in the verses, blooming into a resigned, aching melody in the chorus. Subtle reverse pads and filtered percussion create a cocoon of tension; background harmonies creep in like ghost thoughts on key lines. Mix stays intimate and dry on the lead, with occasional delay throws on the hook for a confessional, stuck-in-your-head feel.
