[Verse "spoken-sung, weary, mid-tempo"] Checked in under someone else’s name Didn’t lie, just didn’t explain TV’s stuck on static snow But I sleep better with the blur Love burns and so does time Counting miles in exit signs You can lose a year this way One cracked tile at a time [Chorus "soaring, anthemic, strained but melodic"] No one tells you why you fail You just stop showing up for yourself I wrote my name on the bathroom mirror But it blurred Just like that — it slipped away [Verse 2 "spoken-sung, weary, slight syncopation"] The ice machine still hums at night Like it’s got something left to say I parked beneath the only light That flickers along with my heart Room key’s bent but still unlocks Like it knows I’ll never leave Just enough ink to fake a name Just enough to play the part [Chorus "soaring, anthemic, cracked resolve"] No one tells you why you fail You just stop showing up for yourself I wrote my name on the bathroom mirror But it blurred Just like that — it slipped away [Bridge "melodic, low-register, confessional tone"] If you see me down the line Say you knew me back in time Not as perfect — just as real Not as healed — just tired of the pain [Chorus "soaring, with layered harmony and emotional grit"] No one tells you why you fail You just stop showing up for yourself I wrote my name on the bathroom mirror But it blurred Just like that — it slipped away [Outro "soft-spoken, near-whisper, fading"] Halfway out Halfway in Always halfway Where I learned to disappear
