How Can You Live Here?

Intro

I don’t talk, I don’t try,

Just watch you pass, like a ghost in my life.

Every breath feels sharp, too loud,

You move like nothing’s broken down.

Verse 1

We’re now strangers in a haunted place,

Pretending peace, but it’s all an act.

You sip your drink, I hold my rage,

Both of us locked in a quiet cage.

I give you silence, short replies,

Cold gestures, no disguise.

You play calm, like you can’t tell,

This house is halfway to hell.

Pre-Chorus

The air’s too thick, I barely breathe,

How do you stand what you did to me?

You sit so still, no shame, no fear —

How the hell can you live here?

Chorus

How can you live here,

With everything dead between these walls?

Can’t you feel the weight of what you stalled?

We’re ashes in the same room,

Burning slow, no spark, no bloom.

How can you live here,

Like nothing’s gone wrong?

Verse 2

You look right past me, blank face, calm,

But I see guilt under your charm.

You talk to fill the empty space,

I shut it down, erase your face.

No fight, no cry, just ice and ache,

Every word’s a move I fake.

You’re breathing easy — must be nice,

I’m drowning quiet, out of sight.

Pre-Chorus

This tension hums, it’s in the air,

You act like peace, I feel despair.

You killed the fire, now you don’t care —

How the hell can you live here?

Chorus

How can you live here,

With everything dead between these walls?

Can’t you feel the cracks before it falls?

We’re ghosts of what we used to be,

You fade, but I still see.

How can you live here,

Like nothing’s gone wrong?

Bridge

I don’t speak, you don’t see,

We’re just static on repeat.

You move like you belong —

But you don’t.

You don’t.

Breakdown

Every breath I take feels wrong,

Every second feels too long.

You should’ve left —

But you stay.

Like rot that won’t decay.

Chorus

How can you live here,

In silence you built yourself?

Pretend it’s fine, like I can’t tell.

You broke it, left it, stayed too near —

How the hell can you live here?

Outro

I don’t talk, I don’t try,

Just wait for you to say goodbye.

But you won’t — you never do.

You just… live here.

Like it’s not killing you.
