Halfway here

We’re lying in the dark, phones lighting up the room

You’re next to me but I can’t feel you

Talk about forever but it sounds like doom

Every promise feels see-through

⸻

I’m sorry for the silence when you need my voice

I’m sorry for pretending like I have a choice

⸻

Hold me but it hurts

Kiss me but it burns

Tell me that you’re here, but I know we’re taking turns

Loving just to feel

Faking something real

Can’t shake this melancholy even when you’re near

⸻

I watch you laugh, it echoes in my hollow chest

Your eyes look miles away

We’re both so good at lying that it feels like rest

Can’t find the words to say

⸻

I’m sorry for the distance when you need me close

I’m sorry for the truth in all the things I wrote

⸻

Hold me but it hurts

Kiss me but it burns

Tell me that you’re here, but I know we’re taking turns

Loving just to feel

Faking something real

Can’t shake this melancholy even when you’re near

⸻

If love is home then why am I still lost?

If you’re the cure then what’s the cost?

If this is all we have, is it worth the ghost?

I don’t wanna lose you but we’re both alone

⸻

Hold me but it hurts

Kiss me but it burns

Tell me that you’re here, even when it’s not our turn

Loving just to feel

Faking something real

Can’t shake this melancholy even when you’re near

⸻

We’re lying in the dark, phones lighting up the room

You’re next to me but I can’t feel you
