Felt Normal

[Verse]
I stopped noticing the quiet
Stopped waiting for the tension to break
We moved around each other
Like nothing was at stake

I quit asking how you felt
Quit trying to read your tone
We kept the peace every night
And called that feeling grown

[Pre-Chorus]
No damage
No repair
Just empty space
We learned to share

[Chorus]
It felt normal
That scared me most
No fire left
Just going through the motions
It felt normal
Like nothing was wrong
But when quiet feels easy
You’ve been gone too long

[Verse]
I stopped reaching for your hand
Stopped saying what I meant
I learned how to hold things in
And call that being content

Days came and went the same
No change, no warning signs
Everything stayed steady
While something slipped inside

[Pre-Chorus]
No breaking
No relief
Just calm sitting
On top of grief

[Chorus]
It felt normal
No rise, no fall
No big ending
No moment at all
It felt normal
That steady air
But when nothing moves
There’s nothing there

[Bridge]
No one left
No doors slammed shut
We just stayed inside
What we gave up

[Build]
Same room
Same light
Same silence
Every night

[Final Chorus]
It felt normal
Until I knew
Comfort grew
Where love once moved
It felt normal
And that was the truth
Nothing was wrong
There was nothing left to lose

[Outro]
Sometimes the end
Doesn’t come apart
It just settles in
And feels like your heart
