(folk, Brooding art-pop ballad with male vocals over warm bass, fingerpicked folk guitar, and airy pads. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, tension rising with subtle toms and distant piano swells; pre-chorus adds layered background oohs and a pulsing low end. Chorus drops into a wide, cinematic dream-pop wash with big reverb, lush harmonies, and a dark, seductive energy; final repeat strips to voice and bass for a haunting close., ballad, art pop, dream pop) [Verse 1] You talk in half-phrases Eyes on the floor Then mine Laugh like you’re changing stories Mid-sentence every time You say you hate endings So you don’t ever start I’m counting the skipped heartbeats Like cracks in your glass heart [Pre-Chorus] Every secret on your tongue Tastes like something you outrun You lean in Then you pull away What are you so scared I’ll say? [Chorus] I can’t figure you out But I’m dying to try You’re a locked room burning In the back of my mind Every “stay” sounds like “go” Every touch says “hide” I can’t figure you out But I’m still on your side (yeah) [Verse 2] You trace the same old circles On my wrist with your thumb Say “I don’t trust people” Then ask where I came from You kiss me like confession Then laugh it off as fun You pray to your reflection Then swear you need no one [Pre-Chorus] Every truth you almost name Falls back into smoke and flame You look through me Then look away What are you afraid I’ll change? [Chorus] I can’t figure you out But I’m dying to try You’re a locked room burning In the back of my mind Every “stay” sounds like “go” Every touch says “hide” I can’t figure you out But I’m still on your side [Bridge] Pull me closer Push me back (oh) Say you want me Fade to black If this is how you cry for help I’ll stand here while you hate yourself But I need you to let me in Let the darkness name its sin I’m not leaving I’m just scared Of loving what’s not really there [Chorus] I can’t figure you out But I’m dying to try (to try) You’re a locked room burning In the back of my mind Every “stay” sounds like “go” Every touch says “hide” I can’t figure you out But I’m still on your side [Outro] So if you’re gonna break me Do it looking in my eyes I can’t figure you out But I’m still gonna try
