Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Woke up to a quiet room No name on my buzzing phone Whole world making weekend plans I just scroll Then lock it Go Mug stains on the same old desk Mail piled by the leaning door I could disappear tonight Would it echo? Or be ignored [Chorus] Better off gone Than always the last in line Better off dust Than stuck in this waiting mind Never the first thought First call First choice Just a ghost in a borrowed voice If I fade out slow Slip into the dawn Tell me Would it matter Or am I better off gone [Verse 2] I learned how to take up space Quietly So I don't offend Laugh at all the right bad jokes Still nobody calls me friend I’m the name they almost say Then remember someone else I am every empty seat Saving places For everyone but myself [Chorus] Better off gone Than always the last in line Better off dust Than stuck in this waiting mind Never the first thought First call First choice Just a ghost in a borrowed voice If I fade out slow Slip into the dawn Tell me Would it matter Or am I better off gone [Bridge] If there’s a world where I am chosen Could you send a sign Just one Till then I’m here Half-awake Half-broken Practicing how to Come undone [Chorus] Better off gone Than begging to just belong Better off dust Than proving they had me wrong Never the first thought First call First choice But I’m tired of killing my own voice So if I fade out slow Slip into the dawn Hold me in a memory Say I wasn’t better off gone

Sparse, intimate piano ballad with male vocals; close, breathy delivery. First verse almost a whisper, subtle room reverb. Chorus swells with warm pads and soft low strings, kick buried deep just on downbeats for heartbeat weight. Second half adds fragile backing harmonies that crack and fall away on the last line, ending on a single held piano chord that fades into silence., sad
