Slowly Losing You

[Verse 1]
You were on my couch
Shoes on the floor
You laughed at my joke
Like a hundred times before
I said it too quick
Hung there in the air
“I think I’m in love”
You just twisted your hair
[Chorus]
Now I’m slowly losing you
Every silence feels like proof
You don’t touch me like you used to
You sit farther on that worn-out booth
I replay that night like a wound I pulled through
Think I made a mistake
Telling you I love you
[Verse 2]
You still say my name
But it sounds halfway
Your eyes check the time
Like you’d rather be away
You don’t send those pics
At 2 a.m
You leave my texts on read
Say
“sorry
I forgot again”
[Chorus]
Now I’m slowly losing you
Every silence feels like proof
You don’t touch me like you used to
You sit farther on that worn-out booth
I replay that night like a wound I pulled through
Think I made a mistake
Telling you I love you
[Bridge]
If I could pull those words back (oh no)
Fold them into my chest
Would you lean into my shoulder
Like you did before I confessed
[Chorus]
But I’m slowly losing you
And I guess that’s the truth
You don’t hold me like you used to
You keep drifting to another room
I replay that night till the sky turns blue
Think I made a mistake
Telling you I love you
Think I made a mistake
’Cause I’m slowly losing you

Sparse piano ballad with male vocals up front, intimate and close-mic’d. Verses stay low and conversational with soft pads swelling underneath. Chorus rises in range and intensity with subtle backing harmonies and a distant reverb tail. Gentle bass and brushed percussion enter halfway through to lift the emotion, then everything drops back to just piano and voice for the final lines., slow
