[Intro, Ambient guitar loop, Soft vinyl crackle]
Not waiting, not hoping
Just breathing, just floating
[Verse 1, Whispery groove]
I see you like a light I can’t reach
Laughing in a world that’s not mine
Every word I never speak
Hangs in air like a thin white line
You don’t know I’d give it all
To hold your hand for five slow beats
But you’re in love with someone real
And I just haunt my own repeats
[Chorus, Swelling strings, mellow bass]
I’m not chasing, I’m just here
Like smoke that doesn’t disappear
I smile like I’m not broken
But I crack when no one’s near
Not in love, just in between
Every touch and every dream
I exist, a quiet sound
Until love comes back around
[Verse 2, Lo-fi beat, soft synth pad]
I tried to write you out of my skin
But ink just fades, not pain
You live like you’ve already won
And I walk barefoot through the rain
My phone lights up — not you, of course
Just some ghost of maybe-soon
But I still hope love makes a course
Back to me beneath this moon
[Chorus, Swelling strings, mellow bass]
I’m not chasing, I’m just here
Like smoke that doesn’t disappear
I smile like I’m not broken
But I crack when no one’s near
Not in love, just in between
Every touch and every dream
I exist, a quiet sound
Until love comes back around
[Bridge, Soft guitar and pads, dreamy harmonies]
If you feel me in the dark
It’s just the echo of my heart
I’m not asking you to stay
Just hoping it won’t end this way
[Outro, Fading piano, ambient synth reverb]
So I’ll breathe and I’ll be
In this place you’ll never see
Not a lover, not a flame
Just a whisper with your name
