Without you

Stalling, running back through my mind

Acting the same cuz I don’t know why, so many countless times I try… hanging hear left so try

Shoot—damn, slipped like—nah, rewind

Words falling out, losing my mind

I—what was I saying? don’t even know

Say “couldn’t be me,” but it’s me though

Thought I’d light up the room, laugh in the dark

Let it go, let it fade, but ow—yeah, you had to go

Left me frozen still, while you moved slow

You didn’t have to go to her, didn’t stand that close

Didn’t have to say it like that, like I wouldn’t notice

You don’t look at me the same when you say her name

I hear it in the pause, feel it in the space

You pulled me aside, mid-thought, mid-breath

“Don’t make a mess,” lookin’ at me like I’m stressed

Then you walked back like I was nothing at all

Head noisy, room quiet, heart speaks when I deny it

Say I’m okay, but I never really buy it
