Lyrics:

Verse 1
I wake up already bracing,
like something’s about to ask too much.
The light comes in wrong through the window,
touches things I didn’t mean to feel.
I move through the day half-open,
careful where I put my weight—
as if the floor might remember
everything I’m trying to forget.

Pre-Chorus
I keep my voice low
so it won’t betray me.
Some things only survive
if I don’t name them.

Chorus
There’s a silence between us
that feels like truth.
Not empty—
just unfinished.
I stay close without arriving,
I leave without going away.
If I ever sound distant,
it’s because I’m standing right here
trying not to disappear.

Verse 2
Love doesn’t hurt when it arrives—
it hurts when it stays.
When it waits for me to show up
as something more than careful.
I watch myself almost reach you,
then stop like I heard my name.
I don’t pull back because I don’t want you—
I pull back because I do.

Pre-Chorus 2
I ask how you’re feeling
when what I mean is:
are you still here
if I stop holding myself together?

Chorus
There’s a silence between us
that feels like truth.
Not empty—
just unfinished.
I stay close without arriving,
I leave without going away.
If I ever sound distant,
it’s because I’m standing right here
trying not to disappear.

Bridge
I’ve learned how to breathe shallow,
how to survive without sinking in.
I keep the worst parts of me soft
so they don’t scare anyone off.
I don’t need saving—
I need time to stop being afraid
of what happens
if I’m fully seen.

Final Chorus
There’s a silence between us
that I don’t want to fill.
Because if I speak too fast,
I might say something real.
So I stay here, unfinished,
learning how to stay.
And if I’m still quiet—
it’s not distance.
It’s me
trying to remain.

Outro
What I don’t say
isn’t absence.
It’s the part of me
that’s still alive.
