[Verse 1] You walk in, I’m already quiet, Your hoodie’s warm, I don’t deny it. You fake a scowl, I steal your fries, Say “you’re impossible,” don’t mean goodbye. I know the rhythm of your place, Which floorboard sighs, which light delays. I sing along before you do, Still act surprised when you call it yours. [Pre-Chorus] You say it’s blurry, I nod too fast, Like clarity’s something we’ll get to last. [Chorus] So tell me to go — I hesitate, I read your tone, I mistranslate. You shut the door, I stand too close, Not brave enough to choose or ghost. If I stay here, it’s not to win, It’s just where I already am. [Verse 2] You mention someone, keep it light, I mirror smiles, I get it right. But your jacket’s still on my chair, Like proof you never fully left here. I catalog your tired sounds, The way your voice goes soft, then flat. You laugh, I lean, you don’t react, And that’s the cue I don’t unpack. [Pre-Chorus] You call it awkward, I say “fair,” Like saying less means I don’t care. [Chorus] So tell me to go — I hesitate, I read your tone, I mistranslate. You shut the door, I stand too close, Not brave enough to choose or ghost. If I stay here, it’s not control, It’s habit dressed up as hope. [Bridge] You think we’re safe in neutral space, I think I’ve been here too many days. Every “stop” sounds unfinished, Like you expect me to decide this. [Final Chorus] So tell me to go — I hear you now, I just don’t know when or how. You turn away, the room feels thin, And I finally feel where I end. If I leave, it’s not defeat — It’s learning how to move my feet. [Outro] Your spare key’s heavy in my hand. I don’t use it. That’s the line.
