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
