DRIFTING

[Verse 1] My phone lit up in blue again Another text I leave on read It’s just a name across the screen But my body locks before I breathe Missed calls stacking quietly White noise rushing over me It’s not that I don’t care at all I just don’t know how to hold it all ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] It wasn’t you I couldn’t face It was the weight I couldn’t place I changed my number, changed my skin Called it moving on again ⸻ [Chorus] I went quiet, I went drifting Not to hurt you, just to listen To the chaos in my chest That wouldn’t let my fingers press I’m not here to relive it Just recognize the shape of it Some connections fade with time Doesn’t mean they weren’t mine ⸻ [Verse 2] You reach out, I let it die Tell myself I need more time I don’t do this to be cruel It’s just the pattern I fall into I thought distance meant resolve Miles between would fix it all But silence only proves I know If I can’t hold on, I let go ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 2] If you hear this song I hope you understand That even though I’m strong I’m still learning how to stand ⸻ [Final Chorus (same or stripped-down softer)] I went quiet, I went drifting Not to hurt you, just to listen To the chaos in my chest That wouldn’t let my fingers press I’m not here to relive it Just recognize the shape of it Some connections fade with time Doesn’t mean they weren’t mine
