VERSE 1 (soft, intimate)
Now I know what you mean to me
But knowing don’t always fix everything
We get close, then we pull away
Like we’re scared of what we say
⸻
PRE-CHORUS (build tension)
I don’t wanna lose you
But I don’t wanna lose me
Somewhere in the middle
Is where we’re supposed to be
⸻
CHORUS (HOOK — THIS NEEDS TO HIT HARDER)
Are we still close?
When the silence gets loud
When the words don’t come easy
But we’re still around
Are we still close?
Or are we just holding on
To something we’re afraid to name
But don’t wanna let go of
(ad-lib: “are we still… are we still close?”)
⸻
VERSE 2 (NEW — YOU NEED THIS FOR STREAMING VALUE)
We don’t say what we feel
We just sit in the space
Acting like everything’s fine
While it slowly breaks
And I wonder if you think of me
When it gets quiet too
Or if I’m the only one
Still reaching for you
⸻
PRE-CHORUS (repeat slightly stronger)
I don’t wanna lose you
But I don’t wanna lose me
Somewhere in the middle
Is where we’re supposed to be
⸻
CHORUS (repeat — fuller emotion)
Are we still close?
When the silence gets loud
When the words don’t come easy
But we’re still around
Are we still close?
Or are we just holding on
To something we’re afraid to name
But don’t wanna let go of
⸻
BRIDGE (EMOTIONAL PEAK)
I don’t need perfect love
I just need something real
But tell me if you feel me
The way I feel
Or am I the only one
Still trying to hold it together
When nothing feels certain
But we won’t let it end
⸻
OUTRO (FADE / AD-LIB FEEL)
Hold on, hold on
Let’s find the strength to carry on
Hold on, hold on
Together, where we belong
(ad-libs: “don’t let go… don’t let go…” fading out)
