Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You laugh
I nod
Bite down on words
Your hand on my sleeve
Like it still means first
You talk about someone
You might wanna date
I’m tracing your coffee ring
Trying not to break
[Chorus]
I’m just friends
Barely breathing
With the ghost of your skin on mine
Every joke
Every evening
I’m pretending that I’m fine
I remember you asleep on my chest
Calling me your safest place to rest
Now I sit across the table
Stone and silent
Suffocating as your almost
Almost ex-lover
Just a friend
[Verse 2]
Your hoodie on my chair
Still smells like rain
That night on my kitchen floor
When you said my name
Your lipstick on a glass
That nobody cleaned
I talk about the weather
Hide what I mean
[Chorus]
I’m just friends
Barely breathing
With the ghost of your skin on mine
Every joke
Every evening
I’m pretending that I’m fine
I remember tracing circles on your back
Promising we’d never lose track
Now I listen to you falling for another
Suffocating as your almost
Almost ex-lover
Just a friend
[Bridge]
Do you ever drive past my street
Slow down at the light (oh)
Hear my old playlist
And taste that night
If I said I still loved you
Would you walk away or stay
So I swallow every word
And let the silence take my place
[Chorus]
I’m just friends
Barely breathing
While you talk like we never tried
Every brush of your shoulder
Is a life I’m denied
I remember you saying “you’re my home”
Now I carry that line alone
Wish I could love you out in the open
But I’m suffocating as your almost
Almost ex-lover
Just a friend

Style
Slow-burn alt-pop ballad, male vocals. Intimate piano and close-mic vocal in the verse, tiny room reverb, almost whispered. Chorus blooms with airy pads, distant toms, and a warm, round bass that lifts the melody. Second pass adds subtle vocal harmonies and a few high guitar swells. Final chorus pulls instruments back for a fragile, exposed outro hook.

Prompt
Sorrowful song about suffocating without someone you love while having to be just friends, while remembering those intimate moments and memories of past love with them, wishing you could love them
