Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You said love was just around the corner Every plan we made stayed out of view You’d sing and play that old guitar beside me I’d cook dinner Set a place for two But you kept me standing in the doorway Suitcase packed in case you came through Talked in circles till the daylight faded All that waiting All for you [Chorus] Long distance Long silence You called it love I called it trying You held my hand Then slipped away For weeks you pushed me off the calendar Soft goodnights and empty answers Every promise that you made Just another word you never meant to say [Verse 2] You were always almost on the highway “Just one more week I’ll be back soon” Kept my phone lit on the pillow nightly Lived on echoes from that living room You’d laugh Say “We’ll get our own place someday” I stirred the soup Believed it too Every birthday Every quiet Sunday Set a plate there just for you [Chorus] Long distance Long silence You called it love I called it trying You held my hand Then slipped away For weeks you pushed me off the calendar Soft goodnights and empty answers Every promise that you made Just another word you never meant to say [Bridge] Now this corner of the room feels wider No more saving you a broken chair (oh) I sing the songs we used to sing together Hear my own voice fill the air [Chorus] Long distance Long silence You called it love I called it trying You held my hand Then slipped away For weeks you pushed me off the calendar Soft goodnights and empty answers Every promise that you made Is just a story I’m too tired to replay

folk, Warm fingerpicked acoustic folk, intimate female vocals close to the mic. First verse sparse and hushed, then a gentle lift with soft harmony stacks in the chorus. Light shaker and brushed snare enter second verse, with a subtle cello pad under the bridge. Overall cozy, bittersweet campfire energy, leaving space for storytelling and emotional cracks in the voice., acoustic, female vocals
