Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] They say the heart knows what it wants Mine don't say a word these days Used to talk in little sparks Now it's static in my chest, just gray I keep leaning in to hear it Like it's whispering from the past But it's quiet as an empty church When the service ends at last [Chorus] It's radio silent Not a love song, not a siren Just a cold, blank sky inside my ribs tonight I’d give anything to feel Something honest, something real But it's radio silent And I'm trying not to cry [Verse 2] I trace our names in coffee rings Then wipe them off before they dry Actin' tough with all my friends But I'm breaking on the drive back home each night I used to shake when you walked in Now my hands just hang like stone Guess the saddest kind of heartbreak Is bein’ lonely in your own soul [Chorus] It's radio silent Not a love song, not a siren Just a cold, blank sky inside my ribs tonight I’d give anything to feel Something honest, something real But it's radio silent And I'm trying not to cry (trying not to cry) [Bridge] If the heart knows what it wants Did mine just give up and leave? ‘Cause all I hear is empty Where you used to echo me [Chorus] It's radio silent Not a love song, not a siren Just a cold, blank sky inside my ribs tonight I’d give anything to feel Something honest, something real But it's radio silent And I just wanna cry Yeah, it's radio silent So I just sit here and cry

country, Sparse sad-country ballad over brushed drums and warm pedal steel, male vocals. Intimate verse with close-mic acoustic guitar, chorus blooms slightly with layered harmonies and organ pad. Keep the tempo slow and swaying; let the vocal crack and linger on key phrases for maximum ache., sad
