Verse 1 City lights don’t argue They just blink and let me fall Coffee going colder Still I’m waiting for your call I tried to count the hours Tried to name the shape of time But every street I’m walking Leads me back to you somehow ⸻ Pre-Chorus I tell myself I’m fine Say I like the quiet now But silence has your outline Everywhere around ⸻ Chorus I don’t work right without you Colors lose their weight I breathe, but it’s automatic Like I’m late to feel awake I don’t call it broken I don’t call it pain But if you’re not beside me Nothing really stays the same ⸻ Verse 2 Mirrors feel dishonest When you’re not here to look back I wear my independence Like a dress that doesn’t fit Friends say I’m glowing Say I’m stronger on my own But strength is just a language I forget when I’m alone ⸻ Pre-Chorus 2 I touch my phone for nothing Just to feel it in my hand Like maybe you’re still listening Somewhere in the static band ⸻ Chorus I don’t work right without you Even when I try I smile like it’s convincing But my shadow knows I lie I don’t need forever I don’t need to beg I just need you near me So the night can feel like rest ⸻ Bridge（spoken / airy） If love is just a habit Then you’re the one I keep Not the kind you fight to quit But the kind you need to sleep ⸻ Final Chorus I don’t shine right without you I just glow in borrowed light If you leave, the room still breathes But it forgets how to feel alive Say you’re not a savior Say I’ll be okay Still, every version of my heart Needs you here to stay ⸻ Outro City lights keep blinking Like they know my name If you find your way back I’ll be standing in the same place I’ ll be standing in the same place
