Signal Lost

Verse 1)
You’re lying here beside me, but it feels like I’m alone
Your heartbeat’s in the same room, but it doesn’t reach my own
We used to talk for hours ’til the curtains caught the sun
Now silence fills the spaces where our laughter used to run

Your back is turned, the pillow’s cold, you drift where I can’t reach
I try to find a signal in the spaces where we speak
But every word feels empty, like we’re reading different lines
Two actors in a story that we’re only half-aligned

(Pre-Chorus)
I used to feel you breathing like we shared the same air
Now I barely feel a presence, like there’s no one really there

(Chorus)
I don’t feel the break, don’t feel the damage anymore
And maybe that’s the part that hurts me more than what came before
We’re lying side by side like all the meaning disappeared
If losing you still mattered, I would feel it… but it’s clear
I’m numb to what we’ve lost
The signal’s gone, and I’m the cost

(Verse 2)
Your hand is just an echo when it brushes against mine
A habit more than comfort, like a script we both recite
We kiss goodnight in silence, out of memory, not need
Our love became a lullaby that no one wants to sing

I don’t know when the fade began, or who let go first
Maybe I stopped fighting when the quiet stopped to hurt
We used to cling to every second just to keep the flame
Now I can feel the ash, but never feel the burning same

(Pre-Chorus 2)
I used to pray for warmth enough to melt the space between
Now I just watch the distance grow where something used to be

(Chorus)
I don’t feel the break, don’t feel the damage anymore
And maybe that’s the part that hurts me more than what came before
We’re lying side by side like all the meaning disappeared
If losing you still mattered, I would feel it… but it’s clear
I’m numb to what we’ve lost
The signal’s gone, and I’m the cost

(Bridge)
Maybe loving you got quiet from the weight of holding on
Maybe both of us got tired of pretending nothing’s wrong
If letting go is mercy, then I think it’s time we knew
Sometimes the cruelest kind of leaving happens lying next to you

(Final Chorus)
I don’t feel the break, don’t feel the damage anymore
And maybe that’s the part that hurts me now — I can’t feel us at all
We’re lying side by side, but you’re a world away from here
If losing you still mattered, I would feel it… but my fear
Is I can’t feel the loss
The signal’s lost — so are we, love

(Outro)
You’re here, but I’m still alone
