[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge / Breakdown]
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
[Final Chorus]
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
