Verse 1)
The coffee’s cold, the morning’s gray
We’re running out of things to say
You’re looking through me, not at me
Like I’m a ghost you’d rather not see
The silence weighs a thousand tons
Between the people we’ve become.
(Pre-Chorus)
And I could reach out, try to touch your hand
But we’re both sinking in shifting sand.
(Chorus)
'Cause we’re holding on to paper anchors
In a storm that’s meant to drown
Building homes out of broken glass
Just to watch them tumble down
It’s not a bang, it’s not a fight
It’s just the flickering of a dying light
We’re fading out, we’re letting go
Of everything we used to know.
(Verse 2)
Your clothes are packed in cardboard boxes
Counting up the wins and losses
You left your keys upon the shelf
A version of your former self
I’ll keep the shadows, you take the car
I never thought we’d get this far... apart.
(Bridge)
Maybe love isn't always enough
To smooth the edges when the road gets rough
Maybe we’re better as memories
Than living in these tragedies.
(Chorus)
'Cause we’re holding on to paper anchors
In a storm that’s meant to drown
Building homes out of broken glass
Just to watch them tumble down
It’s not a bang, it’s not a fight
It’s just the flickering of a dying light
We’re fading out, we’re letting go
Of everything we used to know.
(Outro)
Everything we used to know...
The light is gone.
Just let it go.
(Fade out with a single piano note)
Notas de estilo:
Ritmo: Imagina una balada acústica lenta, impulsada por un piano melancólico o una guitarra con mucho reverb.
Voz: Debería empezar casi como un susurro y subir de intensidad emocional en el puente (Bridge), para terminar con un sentimiento de derrota total.
