[Intro – Both] Loving you is suicide... but here I am again, standin’ on the same ledge. And I keep lookin’ down… wonderin’ if we’ll fall or fly instead. Love used to feel like home… now it’s just a place we stay ‘cause it’s safe. --- [Verse 1 – He] I clock in, clock out, just tryna make a livin’ Got dreams in the rearview, but these bills ain’t forgiving Come home, you scrollin’, I’m gamin’, we both driftin’ No talk, no touch, no spark — just existing I remember when your laughter lit the room up Now it’s silence, only glow is your phone, love I’m starin’ at your side of the couch, so far away Thinkin’ maybe life’s got more to say “I wanna see what life’s like without you…” But the thought of you gone just kills me too --- [Hook – Both] Safe... that’s what we call this pain Safe... but it don’t feel the same We’re holdin’ on to memories that fade like smoke Too scared to fix what’s already broke ‘Cause it’s safe... Yeah, it’s safe... --- [Verse 2 – She] He used to make me feel like a goddess, now I’m just routine He work, he smoke, he game, same ol’ same scene My girls say “come out, shake off that cage” So I put on that dress, let my heartbreak stage I drank too much, music too loud Lost myself somewhere in the crowd Then a stranger’s hand pulled me away And what happened next… I can’t even say (voice cracks slightly, tearful) I thought I wanted excitement… but that night took somethin’ from me Now I just want my peace… I just want to be free --- [Bridge – He] (dark tone, drums slow, vocals layered) My boy said, “I got you, man, she playin’ games anyway” Blind date, nice spot, new face — okay But she talk ‘bout bags, cars, fame, and flights No soul in her words, just empty lights I left that table halfway through Couldn’t fake a smile, couldn’t lie to you Drove home slow with guilt in my chest Guess even when we fall, you’re still my best --- [Hook – Both] Safe... that’s what we call this pain Safe... we’re drowning in the rain We’re two ghosts in a house built on yesterday Too scared to leave, too scared to stay ‘Cause it’s safe... Yeah, it’s safe... --- [Verse 3 – Both: call and response] You ever look at me and feel nothing? Every night, but I keep bluffing You ever dream of someone new? Only when I’m missing the old you We both broke the vow we swore to keep Now we lie beside each other, too afraid to speak (music drops to silence — faint heartbeat sound) But I still love you... And I still need you... Even if it’s just... safe. --- [Outro – Both, layered vocals, fading echo] (soft hum, almost like a spiritual) Safe... We ain’t happy, but we’re safe... Love’s not alive, but it stays... Two hearts chained in a comfortable cage... ‘Cause it’s safe... Yeah... it’s safe.
