[Verse 1]
You on your island
Headphones on
Screen glow
I sat right beside you
Living in my own show
I called it “just my space”
Thought I was so awake
Didn’t see your shoulders
Learning how to break
[Pre-Chorus]
You reached out in the quiet
I answered with a nod
You were asking for a lifeline
I was staring at the fog
[Chorus]
I was right there
But I never really stayed
Side by side
But I kept you locked away
Parallel play
Cut you with the distance I made
I see it now
All the colors turned to gray
I’m the one who pushed you that way
Parallel play
[Verse 2]
You cooked on a Sunday
I scrolled through some dumb thread
You laughed at your own joke
I just lived in my own head
You stopped saying goodnight first
Stopped turning toward my face
I mistook your quiet
For a simple phase
[Pre-Chorus]
You were holding out a heartbeat
I was holding onto pride
Every time I chose my comfort
You went further back inside
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
I don’t want a couch truce
I don’t want a cold room
I want the fight
The mess
The way your eyes bloom
[growling edge]
So scream if you have to
Don’t let this decay
I’ll tear down my fortress
If you’ll just say you’ll stay
[Chorus]
