[VERSE 1] The cups are cold. You won’t look at me. You start talking, then stop. We pretend this isn’t breaking, even though we’re tired. [PRE CHORUS] Every breath feels wired; every word could blow the frame. We’re both waiting for the other to say the thing we never name. [CHORUS] I stay, you stay — stuck in the mess we made. No fight, no fade — just the weight of what we don’t say. I stay, you stay — too damn proud to walk away. We break, we brace — but we never let the silence win. [VERSE 2] Your hand twitches, then retreats. We stare like strangers. You talk to fill the air. I answer like I’m already losing. [BRIDGE] You start to speak, then kill it. The moment dies between us. I almost say it too. [FINAL CHORUS] I stay, you stay — caught in the mess we made. No fight, no fade — just the ghosts of what we don’t say. I stay; you stay — two fools trying to stay brave. We break; we brace — but we never let the silence take.
