(Soft, melancholic piano notes)
(Slow, rhythmic acoustic guitar strumming)
(Mmm, yeah)
I remember when the nights were ours alone
We’d stay up talking till the morning sunlight shone
Long hours on the wire, voices soft and sweet
You were the only person that made my heart beat
But now the silence is growing in the room
A heavy fog of doubt, a quiet kind of doom
I look at my phone, waiting for a light
But you’re further away than you were last night
Are we drifting, darling, like leaves in the rain?
Is this the distance meant to hide all the pain?
From non-stop talking to a hollow "hi"
I’m watching the fire slowly start to die
Two days of silence, where did we go wrong?
I’m holding the melody to our fading song
Tell me it’s not over, tell me it’s just a phase
Before we’re lost forever in this lonely haze
Used to be "I love you" before we closed our eyes
Now it’s just questions and barely hidden sighs
We went from burning bright to flickers in the dark
Trying to catch the embers of a dying spark
Does it make sense to you, the space in between?
This empty narrative, this world we haven’t seen?
I’m reaching out my hand but catching only air
Does it hurt you too? Does it show that you care?
Are we drifting, darling, like leaves in the rain?
Is this the distance meant to hide all the pain?
From non-stop talking to a hollow "hi"
I’m watching the fire slowly start to die
Two days of silence, where did we go wrong?
I’m holding the melody to our fading song
Tell me it’s not over, tell me it’s just a phase
Before we’re lost forever in this lonely haze
I’m broken, can’t you see the cracks in my soul?
I’m losing my grip, losing all my control
Every single day, it feels like we’re undone
Two hearts divided, no longer as one
Don’t let the gravity pull us apart
Don’t leave a permanent scar on my heart
Are we drifting, darling, like leaves in the rain?
Is this the distance meant to hide all the pain?
From non-stop talking to a hollow "hi"
I’m watching the fire slowly start to die
Two days of silence, where did we go wrong?
I’m holding the melody to our fading song
Tell me it’s not over, tell me it’s just a phase
Before we’re lost forever in this lonely haze
Just a "hi"…
Two days of nothing…
Are we really losing each other?
(Soft piano fade)
I don’t want to let go.
No, not yet.
(Silence)
