[Style: Intimate Acoustic Folk] [Tempo: 78 BPM, Unhurried] [Vocals: Close, dry male vocal, conversational tone] [Instrumentation: Acoustic guitar only, D to Dsus4 hammer, G chord on emotional weight] [Intro] [Single acoustic guitar with rhythmic D to Dsus4 hammer-on] [Verse 1] looking at the items, I'm staring at the shelf Learning how to shop again, now I'm by myself Needing less and less, basket's feeling light Standing in the queue, making out I'm alright [Verse 2] I used to buy for two of us, this habits hard to break Picked up your favourite things by force of habit's sake Put it back on the shelf, Fuck, I'm so dumb standing here like a clown, almost overcome [Chorus] I don't know what I'm feeling I don't know what I'm feeling I don't want pity, but the quiet hurts my brain Standing at the checkout, whispering out her name [Verse 3] [Dynamics soft, vocal close and quiet] Table with a single plate, the silence gets too deep My only motivation, darling, is to try to sleep [verse 4] [harder vocals] I know I'll turn the corner to an uphill climb Maybe not today — but darling in time [Chorus] I don't know what I'm feeling I don't know what I'm feeling I don't want pity, but the quiet hurts my brain Standing at the checkout, whispering out her name [outro] [Guitar hangs on unresolved chord, no final strum] [End]
