Verse 1 (UK cadence, fast and sad)

I see you on the platform, headphones in tight,

Eyes on the ground, but they don’t shine right.

You say “I’m fine” but your lips twitch slow,

Like the weight in your chest is the only thing you know.

Your bag on your shoulder, your hair half-tied,

Every step you take’s like a war inside.

Crowd pushes past, but I catch the glance,

Like you’re beggin’ for the world to give you one more chance.

⸻

Verse 2 (long, storytelling)

In the office lights, you don’t say much,

But the silence speaks louder than the paper you clutch.

I see it in the lines when you force that grin,

How the laugh don’t reach where the hurt’s been pinned.

Your mates all chat, but you drift away,

Like you’re standin’ in the sun on a clouded day.

And I get it, love, ‘cause I’ve been there too,

Every crack in your voice tells me what you’ve been through.

⸻

Verse 3 (building, faster cadence)

The city don’t notice, but I swear I see,

All the battles that you fight just to breathe, just to be.

I write down the words ‘cause I can’t confess,

That I’d carry half your burden if it meant less stress.

You walk like thunder, but your eyes leak rain,

You’re stitched together but the seams show pain.

And I know you’d never ask, but I feel it true,

There’s a song in my chest that belongs to you.

⸻

Outro (soft, broken-hearted)

So when the train doors close and you fade from sight,

I’m left with the echoes of your face at night.

Maybe we’re strangers, maybe that’s fate,

But I’ll still understand in the silence you create.
