Intro
(Finger-picked acoustic guitar + soft tropical pluck)
Verse 1 (Male) (Minimal beat, intimate vocals up front)
It’s funny how your name still lights my phone
But I don’t know if I should take it home
We used to talk like every hour
Now even “hey” feels like too much power
I still know when you’re wide awake
By the way your typing starts to shake
I almost ask you how you’ve been
But I stop before the truth comes in
Pre-Chorus (Male)
I rehearse a line I’ll never say
Like nothing ever changed that day
But silence says it better now
We both know how this plays out
Chorus (Male)
We don’t talk like we used to
We don’t laugh like it’s easy to
Every word feels overdue
Like we’re strangers with a view
Yeah, we don’t fight, don’t blame
Just dance around what we can’t say
It hurts more every time we try
To act like we’re just fine
Verse 2 (Female)
I see your face in crowded rooms
Hear your voice in old perfumes
I type a joke, then delete
Some things are better incomplete
I miss the way you read my mind
Now you feel like borrowed time
I wanna ask if you still care
But I’m scared of what’s not there
Pre-Chorus (Female)
I practice calm, I practice cool
Like I don’t break the same rules
But every song we used to know
Still tells me what I won’t show
Chorus (Both) (Full pop groove, side-chained synths, wide harmonies)
We don’t talk like we used to
We don’t love like we meant to
Every word feels overdue
Like we’re strangers passing through
Yeah, we don’t shout, don’t cry
Just smile when the moment dies
It hurts more every time we try
To act like we’re just fine
Bridge (Male → Female)
(Beat drop → atmospheric pads + ethnic string motif)
Male:
If I called you late tonight
Would it feel wrong or feel right?
Female:
If I answered, would we pretend
That this isn’t how it ends?
Both:
We’re stuck between the truth and fear
Close enough, but not quite near
Final Chorus (Both)
We don’t talk like we used to
But I still feel close to you
Every silence says it all
Even when we never call
Yeah, it’s sweet and it’s cruel
Missing something we both knew
It hurts more every time we try
To act like we’re just fine
Outro (Male – soft)
(Strip back to guitar + reverb tail)
Yeah…
Some loves don’t leave, they just go quiet
