[Intro]
…stay on the line
just breathe
I like hearing you exist
⸻
[Verse 1]
I keep your voice in a glass by my bed
Shake it gently when it goes dead
It echoes softer every night
So I press it closer just to feel it bite
The room remembers where you stood
I haven’t moved it like I should
Your shadow lingers in the frame
Like it forgot it’s not your name
I don’t open curtains anymore
Light feels like an open door
And I don’t trust what might come through
If it realizes I lost you
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s something breathing in the walls
It learned your rhythm, learned your calls
It hums your name when I go still
Like it knows I never will
⸻
[Chorus]
Don’t leave me alone with me tonight
The silence sharpens into knives
It carves out shapes behind my eyes
That look like you—but wrong this time
Say you love me—soft and slow
So the dark won’t start to grow
I don’t need it to be true
I just need it to sound like you
⸻
[Verse 2]
I trace your outline in the dust
Where you once leaned, where we once touched
If I redraw you carefully
You almost look back at me
There’s a version of you in my head
It never leaves, it never rests
It speaks in ways you never would
But says the things I think you could
I feed it thoughts you didn’t say
It smiles wider every day
And when I ask it if you’re mine
…it says “for now”—every time
⸻
[Bridge]
I think it’s learning how to be you
Filling gaps with things it wants to
Sometimes I hear it in your tone
Answer questions through your phone
If you go quiet, it gets loud
Wears your skin, but not quite right
And I’m too tired to tell apart
What’s you… and what stayed behind
⸻
[Break]
Don’t hang up
Not yet
It’s closer when you disconnect
⸻
[Final Chorus]
Don’t leave me alone with me tonight
I lose the edges of what’s right
Your voice splits into something new
One of them isn’t you
Say you love me—keep it steady
Before it says it first instead
And if you hear me say it back…
make sure it’s me inside my head
