[Verse 1 - Soft fingerpicked acoustic guitar, warm analog synth pad underneath, intimate and unhurried]
You say it's not what it looks like
But it looks like what it is
You're reading from a script you swore
You'd never give your lips
The suitcase by the door again
The silence after ten
You tell me it's just seasonal
Like weather, like a friend

[Pre-Chorus - Subtle programmed beat enters, gentle pulse]
And I've been trying to learn the language
That makes this something else
But every word keeps bending
Back to what I felt

[Chorus - Layered vocals, soft synth arpeggios, restrained energy]
If it walks like a duck
And it talks like a duck
I don't know what you're waiting for
If it leaves like it's leaving
And breathes like it's done
Then maybe we should call it what it was

[Verse 2 - Acoustic guitar returns, electronic textures shimmer quietly]
You say you're just exhausted
And I know that much is true
But tired doesn't pack a bag
Or stop saying "I love you"
You're fluent in the exit
Every pause and practiced sigh
You've rehearsed this conversation
But you won't tell me why

[Pre-Chorus - Beat steadies, bass synth adds warmth]
And I keep waiting for the version
Where this turns into a phase
But some things just keep walking
In the same direction, always

[Chorus - Fuller mix, harmonies layer in]
If it walks like a duck
And it talks like a duck
I don't know what you're waiting for
If it leaves like it's leaving
And breathes like it's done
Then maybe we should call it what it was

[Bridge - Stripped back, just voice and ambient synth swells, vulnerable]
I'm not asking for a villain
I'm not asking who to blame
I just need the thing that's happening
To finally have a name
'Cause I've been holding water
In a boat that wants to sink
And I'm tired of pretending
That I don't know what to think

[Final Chorus - Gentle build, acoustic and electronic blend, bittersweet resolve]
If it walks like a duck
And it talks like a duck
Maybe that's the only proof I need
If it ends like it's ending
And it hurts like it does
Then I guess I know exactly what it means

[Outro - Fingerpicked guitar fades]
