⭐ VERSE 1
you pull back,
eyes cold like you rehearsed it.
one small breath
and I’m wondering if I deserved it.
you touch me,
but your mind is somewhere else—
and every second
feels like you’re punishing yourself.
I feel you
thinking louder than your voice does.
I hear it—
even when the room goes voiceless.
⸻
⭐ PRE-CHORUS
I chase
every word you never say.
you fade,
and I follow anyway.
⸻
⭐ CHORUS (toxic + catchy)
when you go quiet—
it hits harder than the fights we start.
you don’t say nothing—
and somehow that’s the part that breaks my heart.
you shut me out quick—
like you’re scared of what you’d say out loud.
your silence kills me—
yeah, it’s the only thing you’re proud of now.
⸻
⭐ VERSE 2
you look down,
and that’s when I know you’re lying.
you say “fine,”
but I can feel your whole world dying.
I’m talking,
and you stare right at the floor—
you weaponize the quiet
like you trained for this war.
my chest hurts,
’cause your silence feels like violence.
you bruise me
with the things you keep in hiding.
⸻
⭐ PRE-CHORUS 2
I wait,
hoping you’ll break the spell.
you stay—
in your private kind of hell.
⸻
⭐ CHORUS (repeat)
when you go quiet—
it hits harder than the fights we start.
you don’t say nothing—
and somehow that’s the part that breaks my heart.
you shut me out quick—
like you’re scared of what you’d say out loud.
your silence kills me—
yeah, it’s the only thing you’re proud of now.
⸻
⭐ BRIDGE (whisper + toxic tension)
don’t blink,
you might let the truth slip.
don’t breathe,
you might confess the real shit.
don’t speak—
you know you’re scared of the fallout.
stay quiet,
you only love me when you blackout.
⸻
⭐ FINAL CHORUS (darker, collapsing)
when you go quiet—
it hits harder than the lies you hide.
you don’t say nothing—
just leave me stranded on the other side.
you shut me out quick—
like the truth is something you can’t allow.
your silence breaks me—
but it’s the only thing you give me now.
