Eavesdropping Remix (Suno telephone) [shanty]

[Verse 1] I've been sleeping with the lanterns low again Counting beams in the rafters like they mean something You're still berthed but your heart's out to sea And I keep pretending that I don't notice I memorized the way you used to breathe Before you started breathing like a stranger I keep talking to the sailor I knew Who stopped coming home about six months ago [Pre-Chorus] I'm not asking you to save me You stopped trying anyway I just need you to stay Just long enough to mean it [Chorus] Because I'm still here With my hands full of what you're leaving behind And the worst part isn't losing you It's watching you decide You already decided I felt it shift before you spoke And I'm exhausted from pretending I never heard you go [Verse 2] You keep saying forever like it costs you nothing Like a promise on the tide that never comes home There's a hollow in the hammock where you swore you were certain And I can't stop sleeping on your side I know the face you make when you've already left I've been watching it for weeks now And we're still calling this a squall When it stopped being a storm a long time ago [Pre-Chorus] I'm not asking you to save me You stopped trying anyway I just need you to stay Just long enough to mean it [Chorus] Because I'm still here With my hands full of what you're leaving behind And the worst part isn't losing you It's watching you decide You already decided I felt it shift before you spoke And I'm exhausted from pretending I never heard you go [Bridge] Don't tell me that you're trying I watched you stop Don't tell me that you love me Like that calms the squall I've been holding up the weight of something That you already dropped And I'm tired So tired But I'm still here [Final Chorus] Because I'm still here With my hands full of what you're leaving behind And the worst part isn't losing you It's watching you decide You already decided I felt it shift before you spoke And I'm exhausted from pretending I never heard you go
