Black Glass

**Verse 1**
The mirror doesn’t show your face
Just a blur where you used to stay
I stand behind my own reflection
Trying not to fade

You move around me like a ghost
Familiar, but not close
Every word you almost say
Dies inside your throat

**Pre-Chorus**
There’s something underneath this skin
Something turning thin
We don’t fight
We just slowly give in

**Chorus**
We’re staring through black glass
I see you, but I can’t get past
Your eyes don’t hold me like before
They just look back

No fire left to bruise the dark
No spark to pull us from the black
If this is love, it’s losing blood
And it’s not coming back

**Verse 2**
Your touch feels rehearsed now
Careful, measured out
Like you’re afraid to wake
What we don’t talk about

The bed is cold at 3AM
Even when you’re next to me
I swear I feel the space between
Like it’s swallowing me

**Pre-Chorus**
I tried to be enough
I tried to stay inside
But something in your silence
Already decided

**Chorus**
We’re staring through black glass
Close enough to almost crack
But pressure doesn’t mean it heals
It just leaves fractures in the past

No tears, no dramatic end
Just the slow collapse
If this is love, it’s on its knees
And it won’t fight back

**Bridge (low, layered, tense)**
Say it
Say you’re already gone
I feel it
In the way you hold on

Not tight
Not wrong
Just not there
At all

**Final Chorus (stripped, hollow)**
We’re staring through black glass
I see myself in you
Not who we were
Just what we couldn’t do

No sound when it breaks
No light through the cracks
Just two reflections
Looking back

**Outro**
You turn away
The room stays black
I watch you leave
Without a sound
