[Intro – Instrumental | piano + pad | very soft | 4 bars] [Verse 1 – Lead Vocal | intimate | low dynamics] We don’t fight like we used to We don’t even raise our voice We just stare at different walls Like we both ran out of choice You sit right beside me But you feel so far away It’s not what you’re saying It’s everything you don’t say [Pre-Chorus – Lead Vocal | gentle lift] We stopped asking how we feel Started acting like we’re fine We don’t touch like we mean it We don’t look each other in the eye [Chorus – Lead + Light Harmonies | open & warm] There’s a quiet between us now Louder than any scream somehow It fills the room when we lie down Like we’re strangers in the same house There’s a space where love used to be A gap where you’re losing me I don’t know when we became The quiet between us [Post-Chorus – Background Vocals | airy ooohs] (Ooooh) (Yeah…) [Verse 2 – Lead Vocal | slightly stronger] We used to talk for hours About nothing, everything Now we scroll in the same bed Living separate evenings I still know all your triggers You still know all my fears But we don’t reach for each other Like we did last year [Bridge – Lead Vocal | stripped | emotional] If I say I miss you Would you say it too? Or would it fall flat Like everything we do? I don’t wanna fade to black Standing in your past I just wanna feel you Before we collapse [Final Chorus – Lead + Full Harmony Stack | biggest moment] There’s a quiet between us now Louder than any scream somehow It fills the room when we lie down Like we’re strangers in the same house There’s a space where love used to be A gap where you’re losing me I don’t know when we became The quiet between us [Outro – Lead Vocal | soft resolve] We don’t fight like we used to We just let the silence talk
