After We Broke

[Verse 1]
You left your sweatshirt on my chair
Coffee ring still on the table
Two tickets on the fridge door
One used
One unable
I keep your toothbrush in the glass
Like you might walk in any second
Talk to shadows on the hallway wall
Pretend you still remember
[Chorus]
I don't know who I am
After we broke
After we shattered
Picking up pieces of plans
Sweeping up all that mattered
Your name stuck on my tongue
Like a word I can't quite say
I don't know where to put
All this love you threw away
[Verse 2]
I changed the sheets
But not your side
Sleep curled up against a memory
Replay that last
Small
Tired smile
Like a scene stuck on a cracked TV
Friends keep asking how I've been
I say "fine" and change the subject
Every road back to myself
Still runs through your exit
[Chorus]
I don't know who I am
After we broke
After we shattered
Picking up pieces of plans
Sweeping up all that mattered
Your name stuck on my tongue
Like a word I can't quite say
I don't know where to put
All this love you threw away
[Bridge]
Maybe you'll scroll past my face one night
Drunk and a little too honest
Type "I miss you" then erase it twice
And blame it all on August
[Chorus]
I don't know who I am
After we broke
After we shattered
Picking up pieces of plans
Sweeping up all that mattered
Your name stuck on my tongue
Like a word I can't quite say
I don't know where to put
All this love you threw away

Moody alt-pop ballad with male vocals: intimate piano intro, close-mic’d vocal and soft, clipped drums. Verses stay hushed, built around sparse chords and subtle sub-bass swells. Chorus widens with airy pads, layered harmonies, and a slightly bigger snare, then pulls back to near-silence on the bridge before one last, resigned chorus.
