Cold Shoulder Season

Used to wake up to your face, now it’s just my phone glow

Breakfast on the counter gone cold, like we both froze

You talk but the teeth don’t show

Laugh track died, all the light from your eyes just a no-show

We went from inside jokes

To inside silence and outside posts

All that “we forever” on your timeline

But when I look in your eyes, you on your own time

You touch me, I don’t even flinch

Used to feel fireworks, now it’s just a pinch

I keep checking in, like “what’s wrong with me?”

But it’s you plus me minus us, that’s the sum I see

I ain’t mad, I’m just over it (over it)

Heart moved out, but we still co-existin’ (yeah)

You still here, but the love gone missin’

You talk love, but my soul stopped listenin’

This ain’t hate, it’s a slow retreat

Took my heart off your name, put it back in my sleeve

You want flames, but I’m ash and distance

Fell out of love, now I’m done pretendin’

You still call me “baby” out of habit

But the word feel empty, like a ring with no magic

We used to plan kids, pick names, talk marriage

Now I plan exits, pack bags, make clearance

Your perfume on my hoodie don’t hit the same

Used to be a comfort, now it’s just a stain

Every “I love you” feel staged on cue

Like we both scared of what truth might do

I tried to revive it, I swear I did

Stopped goin’ out, spent nights in the crib

Cooked your favorite dish, lit candles in the kitchen

You scrolled through it all, we both kept wishin’

But you can’t force fire where the flame died

Can’t outrun the fade with a fake smile

So I’m sittin’ in the car in the driveway

Rehearsin’ in my head how to say it in a kind way

I ain’t mad, I’m just over it (over it)

Heart moved out, but we still co-existin’ (yeah)

You still here, but the love gone missin’

You talk love, but my soul stopped listenin’

This ain’t hate, it’s a slow retreat

Took my heart off your name, put it back in my sleeve

You want flames, but I’m ash and distance

Fell out of love, now I’m done pretendin’

You deserve someone who can mean it

Every time they say “I need you, don’t leave yet” (don’t leave yet)

I deserve to feel something when I see you

More than guilt, more than “I don’t wanna mislead you”

So if I turn cold, it’s the last good deed

Cut you loose now, let your heart run free

‘Cause staying out of habit is its own kind of cheating

I fell out of love, but I’m done with the sneaking (yeah)

I ain’t mad, I’m just over it (over it)

Heart moved out, but we still co-existin’ (still co-existin’)

You still here, but the love gone missin’

You talk love, but my soul stopped listenin’

This ain’t hate, it’s a slow retreat

Took my heart off your name, put it back in my sleeve

You want flames, but I’m ash and distance

Fell out of love, now I’m done pretendin’ (I’m done)
