(soft hum)
The way you look past me now...
You still reach for my hand in your sleep
But awake, your eyes dey drift somewhere far
I dey count the seconds before you speak
Each silence don become scar
We still dey share this bed, same pillow
But the space between us don grow wide
I fit see the end from this window
Still I dey hold you, though you don already slide
Love collapse, no warning sign
Just small things wey dey fade with time
The way you no reach back when I call your name
The way "I love you" don begin sound like shame
Collapse... ah-ah
Collapse... slowly
Your laughter don turn mechanical now
Like you dey rehearse wetin to feel
We dey argue 'bout plates for the sink somehow
But the real wound, we no fit reveal
I remember when you fit read my silence
Now you no dey even try to decode
Your absence dey loud even with your presence
I don tire to dey carry this load
Love collapse, no warning sign
Just small things wey dey fade with time
The way you turn your body when we sleep at night
The way you say "we're fine" but your eyes no lie
Collapse... hah
Collapse... slowly
(whispered)
I pack my things when you dey shower
Left my key for the table, no letter
Because wetin I go write?
"Sorry say we don fade?"
"Sorry say holding on don hurt pass letting go?"
Now I dey this empty flat, echoes everywhere
Your ghost dey every corner, every chair
Freedom wey I thought go set me free
Just be another type of cage I dey see
My phone no ring, I no reach out
We don become strangers with history
The pain wey I run from, I still dey feel am
Just now, I dey feel am alone... completely
(soft talking drum pulse fades in)
Collapse...
We don collapse...
(silence)
And nobody no dey catch us...
(fade)
