Verse 1 Warm light settles on the table’s edge Nothing moves, just the weight of it Caramel lines like a hand that slipped Tracing shapes I won’t admit Soft in the middle, I fall apart You don’t see where the breaking starts ⸻ Pre-Chorus I stay still long enough Maybe it won’t show ⸻ Chorus I’m melting in the quiet No one here to hide it Sweet turns heavy on my tongue Dripping into silence All this slow defiance Of the things I never say out loud ⸻ Verse 2 Wood grain holding every mark Like time pressed into the dark You were here in a different frame Now it’s just the echo of your name I keep circling what we were In the aftertaste, in the blur ⸻ Pre-Chorus If I let it cool, would it hold its shape Or disappear without a trace ⸻ Chorus I’m melting in the quiet No one here to hide it Sweet turns heavy on my tongue Dripping into silence All this slow defiance Of the things I never say out loud ⸻ Bridge (half-time, airy, distant) Slow sugar evening Nothing intervening Let it fall, let it run I don’t need a reason (reverse cymbals + washed guitars swell here) ⸻ Outro (fading, repetitive) Melting in the quiet Melting in the quiet Everything I hold Softens into nothing
