### **Verse 1** I wake up drowning in the echo Of everything I couldn’t say Your shadow’s burned into the drywall Like you never walked away I trace your name in condensation On a mirror that won’t lie Every breath is hesitation Every truth is stuck inside ### **Pre-Chorus** I’m screaming through a mouthful of silence Bleeding out but I look okay I built these walls for protection Now I’m buried in the weight ### **Chorus** There’s static between us, cutting the line I’m reaching for you but you’re out of time If love’s a ghost, then I’m haunted tonight I’m holding the hurt just to feel alive Say you hear me, say I still exist I’m breaking down just to coexist There’s static between us, tearing me apart I’m losing you piece by piece in the dark ### **Verse 2** I learned how to smile through the fracture Make a home in the pain I wear my scars like an answer But they’re calling your name You said, *“We’ll be fine, just be patient”* Now patience feels like decay Every promise left abandoned Every hope starts to fray ### **Pre-Chorus** I’m choking on all of the maybes Suffocating on regret If I’m honest, I’m terrified This is all I’ll ever get ### **Chorus** There’s static between us, cutting the line I’m reaching for you but you’re out of time If love’s a ghost, then I’m haunted tonight I’m holding the hurt just to feel alive Say you hear me, say I still exist I’m breaking down just to coexist There’s static between us, tearing me apart I’m losing you piece by piece in the dark ### **Bridge** *(softer, then building)* If I let go, do I disappear? If I stay, will it kill me here? I’d burn it all just to feel you close But I’m scared of the truth I know *(instrumental swell)* ### **Final Chorus** *(bigger, more desperate)* There’s static between us, screaming your name I’m bleeding out in a losing game If love’s a war, then I’m waving white But I still fight you every night Say you see me, say I’m not alone I’ve been screaming through a broken phone There’s static between us, buried in my heart I never knew silence could hit this hard ### **Outro** The line goes dead But I’m still listening ---

Static Between Us
