[Intro – distant pad, vinyl hiss]
Mm…
Yeah…
[Verse 1 – soft, intimate]
I’ve been waking up in pieces,
Counting hours I don’t need.
Every thought feels unfinished,
Like a sentence missing me.
Your name sits on my tongue still,
But I don’t say it out loud.
I learned silence talks louder
When there’s nobody around.
[Pre-Chorus – airy lift]
I don’t know what I’m holding onto,
But I know I’m not letting go.
Every night feels like a rerun
Of a life I almost know.
[Chorus – fragile, floating]
I’m half awake, half gone,
Drifting where I don’t belong.
If I stay right here too long,
I might fade into the song.
I don’t need you to stay,
I just need you to know—
I’m still learning how to feel
Without breaking too slow.
[Post-Chorus – echo ad-libs]
Mm…
Half awake…
Yeah…
[Verse 2 – restrained, reflective]
I keep my heart in low power,
Save the rest for another day.
I don’t cry like I used to,
I just let it ache.
Every smile feels borrowed,
Every laugh feels thin.
I’m not broken, just tired
Of pretending I’m in.
[Pre-Chorus – subtle build]
I don’t ask for explanations,
I don’t need a sign.
I just sit with the feeling
And let it pass my mind.
[Chorus – fuller, still soft]
I’m half awake, half gone,
Floating through the dark till dawn.
Every memory feels wrong
When it plays back in my bones.
I don’t need you to stay,
I don’t need control—
I just wish this quiet ache
Didn’t feel like home.
[Bridge – stripped, emotional]
Maybe I’m scared of the quiet,
Maybe I’m scared to heal.
Maybe I miss who I was
Before I learned how to feel.
I talk to the ceiling at night,
Like it knows me the best.
I don’t ask it for answers,
Just somewhere to rest.
[Final Chorus – fragile resolve]
I’m half awake, still here,
Still breathing through the fear.
If I disappear a bit,
Know I’m trying to be real.
I don’t need saving now,
I just need to grow—
Even sadness has a way
Of teaching me to go slow.
[Outro – pads dissolve, echo tail]
Mm…
Half awake…
Still here.
