Glass in the Garden

[Verse 1]
Left your sweater on my chair
Coffee stain, little rip in the collar
I trace the letters of your name
On a fogged-up Friday window
You said "space" like it was air
Like I was choking all the color from you
Now I'm here in this quiet room
Arguing with silverware
[Chorus]
You love like glass in the garden
Shining where it cuts me open
Pretty in the morning sun
Bleeding in the dark when it's done
You say we’re better apart
Still you live in the soft of my heart
Sharp when I reach for you, darling
You love like glass in the garden
[Verse 2]
I still talk into your void
Typing out a truth, then deleting
Scroll our photos till they blur
Faces turning into strangers
Friends keep saying let it go
Change the locks, stop checking your stories
But you text at 2 a.m.
"Miss you" with a half-tired emoji
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] I kept every little version of you
The one who laughed in line at the movies
The one who cried on the bathroom floor
The one who swore you'd stay and then couldn't
[soft harmonies] Which one am I supposed to forget?
Which one do I bury, which one do I keep?
I'm sweeping the yard of my chest
Bare feet, picking you out of me
[Chorus]

rap, Smoky neo-soul progression over warm bass and crisp, modern drums. Female vocals: intimate, close-mic verses with whispered doubles; chorus blooms with stacked harmonies and a subtle vocoder pad. Trap-influenced hi-hat patterns weave through soulful Rhodes and a distant guitar loop. Slow build from minimal, late-night mood to a saturated, swirling final chorus that lingers., contemporary, soul, r&b, alternative r&b, romantic, complex
