Amber weather

(Hook)

There’s a storm in this glass again

Clouded up with what might’ve been

I don’t sip — I let it settle

Let it rust around the metal

Mrs. Whiskey on my breath

Says your name like it’s a threat

I don’t chase, I just remember

Every night turns amber

(Verse 1)

I don’t drink to forget you

I drink to replay

Slow motion mistakes

Frame by frame

You laughing in the passenger seat

Hand on my thigh at a red light

Now I’m gripping the same wheel

But it don’t turn right

Funny how love don’t leave loud

It just changes temperature

One day it’s fire in your lungs

Next it’s furniture

Still there

But nobody sits in it

I kept the good hoodie

You kept the distance

I kept the “what if”

You kept your independence

And I respect that

That’s the worst part

No villain to blame

Just two soft hearts

(Hook)

There’s a storm in this glass again

Clouded up with what might’ve been

I don’t sip — I let it settle

Let it rust around the metal

Mrs. Whiskey on my breath

Says your name like it’s a threat

I don’t chase, I just remember

Every night turns amber

(Verse 2)

I tried replacing your silence

With background noise

TV too loud

Old voice memos

But the quiet knows my name

I’m not angry

I’m unfinished

Like a sentence

You never finished

You were never cruel

Just careful

Never cold

Just scared

And I was too proud

To say I was scared too

So we called it “timing”

Like that made it noble

Like heartbreak sounds better

When it’s mutual

Now this bottle ain’t poison

It’s a mirror

And every reflection

Gets clearer

(Bridge – stripped down)

If you’re happier

I won’t interfere

I just hope

You still think of me

When it’s quiet there

(Final Hook – softer, resigned)

There’s a storm in this glass again

Clouded up with what might’ve been

I don’t sip — I let it settle

Let it rust around the metal

Mrs. Whiskey on my breath

Not a curse and not a threat

I don’t call, I just surrender

Every night turns amber
