Static

You say my name like it’s already gone
Like something lost you moved on from
The room’s too quiet, the lights hum low
Every truth hides in what we don’t say

I trace the cracks in the ceiling lines
Counting seconds just to kill the time
You’re right here but you’re miles away
I feel you fade every word you say

Pre-Chorus
We’re talking circles, dodging blame
Burning bridges just to stay the same

Chorus
There’s static between us, loud and thin
I’m screaming but it’s caving in
Every touch feels counterfeit
Like we’re breaking but we won’t admit
I’d cross the fire just to feel your spark
But we’re talking in the dark

Verse 2
Your jacket’s still on the back of the chair
Like proof you were ever there
We learned to fight in a calm disguise
Sharp smiles, rehearsed goodbyes

I miss the way you said my name
Before it sounded like a question mark
Now every promise feels half-done
Like a song that stops before the chorus comes

Pre-Chorus
We keep pretending this is fine
Running out of borrowed time

Chorus
There’s static between us, loud and thin
I’m screaming but it’s caving in
Every touch feels counterfeit
Like we’re breaking but we won’t admit
I’d cross the fire just to feel your spark
But we’re talking in the dark

Bridge
Maybe love’s just a frequency
That we lost somewhere between
Who we were and who we became
Two voices out of phase

Say something real
Say something true
Or let the silence finish what we couldn’t do

Final Chorus
There’s static between us, cutting clean
Every word just skims the screen
If this is where the signal ends
I’ll remember how it sounded then
I’d burn it down to leave a mark
But we’re talking in the dark

Outro
If you hear this, if you don’t
I said everything I couldn’t say before
