Static Between Us

### **Verse 1**

I wake up drowning in the echo

Of everything I couldn’t say

Your shadow’s burned into the drywall

Like you never walked away

I trace your name in condensation

On a mirror that won’t lie

Every breath is hesitation

Every truth is stuck inside

### **Pre-Chorus**

I’m screaming through a mouthful of silence

Bleeding out but I look okay

I built these walls for protection

Now I’m buried in the weight

### **Chorus**

There’s static between us, cutting the line

I’m reaching for you but you’re out of time

If love’s a ghost, then I’m haunted tonight

I’m holding the hurt just to feel alive

Say you hear me, say I still exist

I’m breaking down just to coexist

There’s static between us, tearing me apart

I’m losing you piece by piece in the dark

### **Verse 2**

I learned how to smile through the fracture

Make a home in the pain

I wear my scars like an answer

But they’re calling your name

You said, *“We’ll be fine, just be patient”*

Now patience feels like decay

Every promise left abandoned

Every hope starts to fray

### **Pre-Chorus**

I’m choking on all of the maybes

Suffocating on regret

If I’m honest, I’m terrified

This is all I’ll ever get

### **Chorus**

There’s static between us, cutting the line

I’m reaching for you but you’re out of time

If love’s a ghost, then I’m haunted tonight

I’m holding the hurt just to feel alive

Say you hear me, say I still exist

I’m breaking down just to coexist

There’s static between us, tearing me apart

I’m losing you piece by piece in the dark

### **Bridge** *(softer, then building)*

If I let go, do I disappear?

If I stay, will it kill me here?

I’d burn it all just to feel you close

But I’m scared of the truth I know

*(instrumental swell)*

### **Final Chorus** *(bigger, more desperate)*

There’s static between us, screaming your name

I’m bleeding out in a losing game

If love’s a war, then I’m waving white

But I still fight you every night

Say you see me, say I’m not alone

I’ve been screaming through a broken phone

There’s static between us, buried in my heart

I never knew silence could hit this hard

### **Outro**

The line goes dead

But I’m still listening
