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
