Love on the Ledge

[Verse 1]
Heart heavy, dragging like a bag full of bricks
Tugging at my sleeve, but I’m slipping through the rips
Whispers in the hallway, shadows in the cracks
I gave you all my mornings, now I’m stealing 'em back
You a mirror I can’t face, truth got me ducking
Words hit like darts, left my soul punctured,
Dinner's on the table, but the silence is loud
Two bodies in a room, no connection allowed
[Chorus]
Love on the ledge, teetering, swaying
Pain in my chest, every word decaying
Need a little space, need a little air
But when I’m gone, will you notice I’m not there?
[Verse 2]
Your love’s a song stuck on repeat, no escape
Melody sweet, but the lyrics scrape
Dancing on eggshells, cracking the beat
Barefoot, bleeding, trying to stay on my feet
Told you I’m drowning, you gave me a drink
Told you I’m lost, you handed me ink
Write my way out, but the page stays blank
Every line I scribble just sinks
[Prechorus]
Space between us, it’s a canyon wide
Echoes of love, but the sound’s denied
