[Verse 1]
You used to taste like summer rain
Bare feet on the kitchen tile
Now every joke just hangs in the air
We both fake that tired smile
[Pre-Chorus]
Your coffee cup stays cold these days
You scroll
I stare at the wall
We keep saying "it's just a phase"
But I don't feel it at all
[Chorus]
Are we a slow burn goodbye?
Fading in flickers
Running on lies
Used to be thunder under my skin
Now every touch barely sinks in
I don't hate you
I don't know why
I just can't make my heart reply
Are we a slow burn
Slow burn
Slow burn goodbye
[Verse 2]
We drive past our favorite bar
Say "next week" then kill the plan
Turn up songs that once tore us apart
I just hum and tap my hand
[Pre-Chorus]
We kiss like we’re changing trains
Already looking ahead
Two strangers sharing a last name
Sharing an empty bed
[Chorus]
Are we a slow burn goodbye?
Fading in flickers
Running on lies
Used to be thunder under my skin
Now every touch barely sinks in
I don't hate you
I don't know why
I just can't make my heart reply
Are we a slow burn
Slow burn
Slow burn goodbye
[Bridge]
Maybe love's not loud when it leaves
It just lowers the sound
Quietly
You say "I’m here
" I say "I’m fine"
Both of us reading between the lines (oh)
Tell me
Are we brave enough
To call time on a dying love?
[Chorus]
Are we a slow burn goodbye?
Fading in flickers
Running on lies
Used to be thunder under my skin
Now every touch barely sinks in
I don't hate you
I don't know why
I just can't make my heart reply
Are we a slow burn
Slow burn
Slow burn goodbye
