Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You stand in the doorway Eyes fixed on the floorboards Your jaw locked like a secret My name caught in your teeth You trace all the tiles Like they’re safer than my skin Every question on my tongue You just swallow it in [Chorus] You can’t even look at me Like the truth might tear your face apart You can’t even look at me So you stare straight past my breaking heart If I’m already gone Say it But don’t turn away Don’t flee You can throw every word you want You just can’t even look at me [Verse 2] I remember the sunlight How it flooded our small room Now the walls feel like water And I’m learning how to bruise Your shadow moves first Then your body follows slow You reach for some excuse Then you let my hand go [Chorus] You can’t even look at me Like the truth might tear your face apart You can’t even look at me So you stare straight past my breaking heart If I’m already gone Say it But don’t turn away Don’t flee You can throw every word you want You just can’t even look at me [Bridge] Tell me Was it ever love Or just a place to hide? Did you only feel alive When you kept me on your side? (oh) Now your silence is screaming Louder than anything Every breath you won’t take Is the cruelest way to sing [Chorus] You can’t even look at me Like the truth might tear your face apart You can’t even look at me So you stare straight past my breaking heart If I’m already gone Say it But don’t turn away Don’t flee You can break every part inside You just can’t even look at me [Outro] So keep your gaze on the hallway Let the doorframe take my place I’ll walk out like a stranger You’ll never have to see my face

folk, Brooding art-pop ballad with male vocals over a slow-building folk-inflected groove, warm bass and sparse piano to start, then layered dream-pop guitars and airy backing vocals swell into a cinematic drop. Tension rises through tom-driven drums and reverb-soaked pads; chorus opens with lush harmonies and a subtle, seductive low-end pulse. Final section strips back to vocal and a few haunting textures, leaving unresolved echoes., dream pop, ballad, art pop
