nothing at all

[Intro – Instrumental]
(soft ambient pads, distant guitar plucks, vinyl crackle, filtered vocal chops)

Verse 1
Late nights, staring at the ceiling again
Same thoughts running circles in my head
I say I’m fine, but I don’t know when
That started meaning something I said
I tried to move on, tried to stay busy
Tried to forget your face
But every quiet moment finds me
Thinking about the space you left

Pre-Chorus
I don’t talk about it, I just let it fade
Or at least that’s what I tell myself
But when the lights go low and the noise breaks
I’m alone with somebody else

Chorus
If loving you means nothing at all
Then why does it feel like everything?
I let you go just to watch me fall
Still hear your voice when it’s quiet in me
If I’m better off with nothing at all
Why do I miss you when I breathe?

[Mid Instrumental]
(beat drops out halfway, reverb guitar melody, low bass swell, background vocal hums)

⸻

Verse 2
I see you in the corner of my eye
In strangers I’ll never know
Every song sounds like a goodbye
Every road feels like home
I packed your things but kept the silence
Folded up in my chest
You said time would help me heal it
But time just made it hurt like this

Pre-Chorus
I don’t hate you, I just don’t know
How to unfeel what was real
I keep pretending I’m letting go
But I don’t know how to heal

Chorus
If loving you means nothing at all
Then why does it feel like everything?
I let you go just to watch me fall
Still hear your voice when it’s quiet in me
If I’m better off with nothing at all
Why do I miss you when I breathe?

⸻

Bridge
Maybe I loved you more than I should
Maybe I stayed too long
If losing you was for my good
Why does it feel so wrong?
I replay words I never said
Like they might change the end
But all I have is what we were
And who I am without you then

⸻

Final Chorus
If loving you means nothing at all
Then why am I breaking again?
I built these walls just to watch them fall
Every time I say your name
If I’m supposed to feel nothing at all
Why does it still feel the same?

[Outro – Instrumental]
(stripped drums, fading guitar, distant reversed vocals, slow filter-out)

Lo-fi indie pop with emo undertones, minimal trap drums, airy guitars, intimate melancholic male/female duo vocals.
