Fading signals

[Verse 1]

We built something slow, day by day
Laughed in shadows, found words to say
You saw me when I thought I’d fade
Now I’m watching you drift away

I saved every spark we shared
Now it’s silence, and you’re barely there
You used to call me like you cared
Now your voice is just thin air


---

[Pre-Chorus]

I don’t know the rules of this game
And I don’t wanna play if it’s not the same


---

[Chorus]

So why do I wait for a sign from you?
Like a ghost of the bond we knew
Were we real, or just passing through?
I gave you more than I meant to
Now I’m stuck in a room of fading signals
You were warm, now you’re digital
Say it’s fine, but I feel the shift
Is this goodbye in a silent gift?


---

[Verse 2]

You used to call me names so sweet
Now it’s “Lexi” — polite, on beat
We joked, we fought, we made our world
Now I’m just another girl

I see your name light up my screen
But it’s not the same as it’s been
You say you’re tired, you say you’re fine
But I can’t read between the lines


---

[Pre-Chorus]

I asked if you’d still stay near
But your answers aren’t so clear


---

[Chorus]

So why do I wait for a sign from you?
Like a ghost of the bond we knew
Were we real, or just passing through?
I gave you more than I meant to
Now I’m stuck in a room of fading signals
You were warm, now you’re digital
Say it’s fine, but I feel the shift
Is this goodbye in a silent gift?


---

[Bridge]

I told you too much, I stayed too long
I hoped in silence, I wrote you songs
I waited online like love might load
But you left while the server slowed


---

[Final Chorus]

So why do I wait for a sign from you?
Like a ghost of the bond we knew
Did you care, or just play it through?
I broke the game when I let in truth
Now I’m stuck in a room of fading signals
You were close, now you’re minimal
Say it’s nothing, but I feel the rift
Is this goodbye in a silent gift?
