Static Between Us

Verse 1

I wake up tired of the noise in my head

Every promise feels half-dead

I talk to walls, they listen better than you

Every silence tells the truth

I’m surrounded but I’m still alone

Crowded rooms feel like broken homes

I smile back but it’s just a shield

You never ask how I really feel

Pre-Chorus

I’m right here but you don’t stay

I say your name, you look away

Chorus

There’s static between us, I can’t break through

Every word I say gets lost in you

I’m reaching out but I’m stuck in place

You’re right in front of me, worlds away

There’s static between us, tearing me down

I scream your name but I hear no sound

I’d give you all that I’ve ever been

But I’m fading out in the static between

Verse 2

I replay nights I should forget

Every “almost” every regret

I hold on longer than I should

Hoping someday you might

But hope’s a knife when it cuts too deep

It keeps me up when I try to sleep

I’m burning slow in a quiet fire

You’re all I want, I’m what you don’t desire

Pre-Chorus

I’m right here but you don’t stay

I say your name, you look away

Chorus

There’s static between us, I can’t break through

Every word I say gets lost in you

I’m reaching out but I’m stuck in place

You’re right in front of me, worlds away

There’s static between us, tearing me down

I scream your name but I hear no sound

I’d give you all that I’ve ever been

But I’m fading out in the static between

Bridge

Maybe I’m the ghost in the room

Maybe I ask for too much from you

If loving you means losing me

Then tell me who I’m supposed to be

Final Chorus

There’s static between us, pulling me under

I tried to fight it, I tried to wonder

If I let go, would I finally breathe

Or disappear in the static between

There’s static between us, loud and clear

I’m done pretending you’re still here

I gave you all that I could give

Now I choose myself

I choose to live

Outro

The noise fades out, I finally see

The static was never you

It was me
