[Verse 1]
You move your cup
Further from mine
Laugh at the screen
Not at my lines
Your eyes glide past
Like I’m not there
You fix your hair
Then forget to care
[Pre-Chorus]
I count the inches
Between our knees
Used to be tangled
Now it’s empty seats
You say you’re tired
I hear “I’m done”
Still reach for you
And touch someone
[Chorus]
I’m watching you fade in my hands
Like ink in the rain
Like footprints in sand
You’re here
But your heartbeat’s already gone
I’m holding the shadow of the one I leaned on
I’m watching you fade in my hands
[Verse 2]
You turn your head
When I undress
Pull on a hoodie
To hide your chest
You used to stare
Like I was art
Now every touch
Just stalls and starts
[Pre-Chorus]
You kiss my forehead
Like I’m a child
Say “Love you
Babe”
With your mouth shut tight
I taste the distance
On every breath
You’re practicing
A gentle death
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Tell me
Was there one clear day
You let the color drain away?
Or did it slip
Slow
Soft
Unseen
Between the dishes and the screens?
If there’s a way to bring you back
I’ll break
I’ll bend
I’ll lose my pride
But if your heart has changed its mind
Then let it speak
Don’t let me try
[Chorus]
