You Were Too Loud, I Was Too Cold

[Intro: A slow, minimal drum beat and a floating, reverb-drenched guitar.] I built my life on concrete floors, I climbed out from the grit, I pulled myself from uptown streets, and made a place to fit. I crafted every perfect move, I kept my profile low, I hid the magnetic hunger in my heart that no one else would know. Then you arrived, a riot, a force I couldn't tame, You didn't know the rules I kept, you didn't know my name. [Verse 1: Breath-whisper, sensual and empty, intimate close-mic murmurs] You sang your love in public squares, you didn't hide a thing, You wore your heart upon your sleeve, you made the rafters ring. I saw the world look at us—the magnetic pull and stare, I felt the weight of every eye, the judgment in the air. I called you childish, called you loud, I shamed your open soul, I let the fear of being seen take all my self-control. [Chorus: Deep emotional bass enters, shoegaze textures wash over like a wave] We stood there in the hallway, the fluorescent lights so cold, I threw my status at you like a weapon, sharp and bold. (YOU WERE TOO LOUD, I WAS TOO COLD!) "You're a stain," I told you, "a risk I cannot take," I watched the magnetic light within your eyes begin to slowly break. (YOU WERE TOO LOUD, I WAS TOO COLD!) I chose the comfort of the wall, I chose the quiet lie, And in that cold, professional room, I watched our promise die. [Bridge: Spoken-singing fragments, intimate, raw, soft crying tone] "I’ve always respected you," you wrote, "and all you wish to be," You walked away to nowhere, you set me magnetically free. But now the silence isn't peace—it’s an open, bleeding scar, I finally see the map of us, I finally see how far... I’ve walked away from everything that made my spirit real, You were the only magnetic truth I had, the only thing to feel! Turns out your passion is printed in my bones, I’m tired of the status, I’m tired of the stones. I want to call your name out, I want to break the seal, I want the only magnetic thing in my life that’s ever been real! [Chorus: Repeat the chorus before the final transition] We stood there in the hallway, the fluorescent lights so cold, I threw my status at you like a weapon, sharp and bold. (YOU WERE TOO LOUD, I WAS TOO COLD!) "You're a stain," I told you, "a risk I cannot take," I watched the magnetic light within your eyes begin to slowly break. (YOU WERE TOO LOUD, I WAS TOO COLD!) I chose the comfort of the wall, I chose the quiet lie, And in that cold, professional room, I watched our promise die. [Outro: Extended, vibrant, roaringly emotional, and joyful comeback] I’m taking back the life I should have led! I’m washing out the fear inside my head! I don’t want the silence! I don’t want the shame! I’m standing in the center, I’m screaming out your name! (SHE’S CALLING YOUR NAME!) You are the magnetic miracle I finally see, (YOU WERE TOO LOUD, I AM LISTENING NOW!) Come back to the truth, come back home to me! (COME BACK HOME TO ME!) (I love you... I'm wide awake...) [end]
