You fall asleep on my shoulder Like I’m just somewhere to land But the room feels a little colder When I don’t hold your hand There’s something in the quiet That you don’t ever see Like a breath behind the curtains That’s closer than me I don’t say it I just feel it In the way you drift away Like I’m talking to a version of you That never stays And it’s soft, but it’s there Like you’re loving someone not here I try to disappear So I don’t interfere And I get smaller in the silence Like it’s safer not to be While something in your memory Keeps choosing you over me You say “I’m fine” like a habit But your eyes don’t agree There’s a shadow in your laughter That you don’t let me see I could swear it sits between us When you don’t hold me right Like I’m sharing you with something That only lives at night And I don’t fight it I just let it Take the space I never get Like I’m loving you through glass That you haven’t broken yet And it’s soft, but it’s there Like a name you don’t say out loud I keep fading in the background While it follows you around And I get smaller in the silence Like I’m easier to lose While something in your darkness Still belongs to you Maybe I’m just second place To a ghost I can’t replace But I stay I stay I stay anyway Anyway And it’s soft, but it’s there Like it’s always been between us I stop asking for forever Cause I know it won’t be us And I get smaller in the silence Till I don’t even feel real While something you’ll never lose Is the only thing you feel
