Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] [female vocals Soft] You drop your keys on the counter Same old sigh Same old stare We move around each other Like there’s nobody there I reach for something to hold You reach for something to prove Every word feels colder Every step We bruise [Chorus] Tired of us Tired of bleeding just to stay It hurts looking at you ’Cause you don’t feel the same We’re talking but it’s empty Every answer sounds the same Tired of us I don’t know if I’ve got the fight to stay [Verse 2] [male vocals Low] You say I’m always distant I say you never hear We throw our fears like dishes Shattered glass Quiet tears You’re in the bed beside me Still I’m sleeping alone Your hand’s right there between us But it feels like stone [Chorus] [Bridge] [call-and-response Overlapping] [male] You used to be my soft place [female] You used to be my safe space [male] Now every touch feels sideways [female] Every kiss just leaves a trace [together Almost whispered] How did we turn into strangers Wearing our names on our faces Walking through all of these memories Like we’re scared of the spaces [female] I’m so tired of breaking Of waking up numb [male] I’m so tired of faking Like we’re not coming undone [together Strained] If this is love Then what’s this ache Are we holding on or just afraid to break? [Chorus]

Slow-burning contemporary R&B ballad with male & female vocals trading lines and harmonies. Minimal keys and subby bass in the verses, close-mic’d and intimate. Chorus widens with stacked call-and-response, filtered pads, and a deep, steady kick. Bridge strips to Rhodes and vocal runs before a final, raw half-time chorus and fade., r&b
