[🎙️ SPOKEN INTRO (optional, male voice) ] “We never left each other… We just… drifted apart. Like two flames, side by side… until there was nothing left to burn.” [Verse 1] Your silence wraps around me tight Like velvet smoke in neon light We don’t fight, we just delay Each heartbeat slipping far away [Pre-Chorus] I feel the fire fading slow Still dancing in the afterglow Your eyes say what your lips won’t dare We’re falling, but we’re still there [Chorus] This is the slow burn The quiet crash, the lessons learned We're close, but miles apart Still lighting matches in the dark This is the slow burn No heat, just sparks that never turn A kiss that tastes like memory A love lost so beautifully [Verse 2] We hold each other not to feel The growing space we can't conceal A rhythm built on smoke and doubt Still spinning, though the flame is out [Bridge] If we explode, it won’t be loud Just silence breaking through the crowd The kind that leaves a trace so deep You feel it even in your sleep [Final Chorus] This is the slow burn… We never screamed, we never turned Just faded like the city’s glow And vanished in the undertow…
