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
