Dinner's Getting Cold

I walk through the door, same silence again

No hello, no glance, just the back of your head

TV on blast, but we ain’t sayin’ a word

Used to laugh over nothin’, now we drown in the hurt

Leftovers on the table, covered in foil

I peel it back, taste the tension in the oil

Microwave buzzin', like it’s beepin' in code

I guess this is what it's like when love erodes

We used to be fire, now we just ash

Used to be a team, now we crash for cash

I keep askin' myself, “Do we even try?”

While your heart’s in your phone, mine’s askin' why

Dinner’s getting cold, like your eyes when you speak

We used to be strong, now we both feel weak

Sittin’ at the table with ghosts in the air

Talkin' to a shadow that’s no longer there

Dinner’s getting cold, and the silence is bold

Like a story that’s done but refuses to fold

I remember when I said “I do” with pride

Now I’m sleepin’ on the edge, tryna survive the ride

You used to cry on my shoulder, now you cry in the dark

We live in the same house but worlds apart

I ask you how your day was, you nod, say "fine"

But I can hear the war in that one broken line

I’d rather you scream, break plates, throw flame

Than sit in this quiet that don’t even say my name

You scroll through your feed like I’m not in the room

I clean up the mess while you count likes and gloom

We're both in this prison, but serving alone

Wishing for escape, but we carved this stone

Dinner’s getting cold, like your eyes when you speak

We used to be strong, now we both feel weak

Sittin’ at the table with ghosts in the air

Talkin' to a shadow that’s no longer there

Dinner’s getting cold, and the silence is bold

Like a story that’s done but refuses to fold

Remember the nights we danced in the rain?

Now we pass like strangers, soaked in pain

I gave you my time, my soul, my youth

You gave me your silence, disguised as truth

Maybe we stayed ‘cause we’re scared to be free

But freedom's a lie if it don’t feel like “we”

Maybe this house ain't a home anymore

Maybe it’s time we both close the door

Dinner’s getting cold, like our unspoken war

You stare at your plate, I stare at the floor

There’s love in the air, but it’s buried in dust

What’s a vow when there’s no more trust?

Dinner’s getting cold, and so are we

Locked in a cage with no lost key
