I Can’t Breathe

Silent whispers in the night, shadows grow between us

Words unspoken, hearts unwilling, caught in a hush

I can feel the distance creeping in, like fog upon my mind

Fingers trace the air where your touch used to align

Eyes avoid the mirror’s gaze, afraid of what they see

Lost in this silent struggle, wishing you still believed in me

You stare across the empty space, pretending not to see

The cracks beneath our fortress, breaking silently

Holding on to what we had, afraid to say goodbye

Underneath the calm, a storm is brewing, a tear we don’t deny

But neither dares to speak the truth, scared of what it might bring

A love that’s slowly slipping past, on fragile wings

I can't breathe without you, but I can’t reach your heart

Pretending that we’re still close, though we’re falling apart

Lost in the silence, trapped in the shadows of our love

I can't breathe, I can't breathe, and I don’t know what’s enough

Maybe someday we’ll find words, unlock what’s been hidden

Until then, we’re just ghosts, by our fears forbidden

In the quiet, we still linger, afraid to let go

Holding onto the memories, of a love we used to know
