It’s just that—I’m not ready for an ‘us.’

(Female voice) “Hey, I know it’s late, but I care about you. I really do. It’s just that…” (Soft instrumental) (Verse 1 Hot Deep Russian male voice cover) I gave you time, I gave you my best, built a bridge over every doubt. You were there, but always one step behind, like a shadow without a reflection. (Pre-Chorus) At least tell me it meant something, tell me it wasn’t just dust in the wind. (Chorus) You never gave me an explanation. You said you weren’t ready, that you cared, you shut the door and left me speechless. (Verse 2) I searched for answers between the lines, in the pauses of every unfinished sentence. Maybe silence is your confession, maybe this is just your way. But when is it ever enough for you? (Pre-Chorus) At least tell me it meant something, tell me it wasn’t just dust in the wind. (Chorus) You never gave me an explanation. You said you weren’t ready, that you cared, you shut the door and left me without reason. (Bridge – Instrumental builds up, then softens, almost whispered) And now I stand here with an echo in my chest, a void without a reason why. Maybe one day I’ll understand, but tonight, all I have is this silence. (More deep) Alright, princess, tell me—if you want, we could break apart inside an Audi, drive through the night, leaving dust on the road. If a light turns on, I’ll see your blue eyes, beautiful only when they cry. You tell me, “The moon is beautiful tonight,” but I won’t lose focus. One hand on the clutch, your heart in my chest. (Pause) Nah nah. I’m just the only one driving. (Final Chorus – Softer, almost whispered, then an emotional crescendo) You never gave me an explanation. You said you weren’t ready, that you cared, you shut the door and left me unloved. Like so many others on that road, we’d still be kids in a world made for grown-ups. The only one driving. (Outro – Female voice with echo effect, not sung, fading into silence) “It’s just that… I’m not ready for an ‘us.’ Do you understand?” (Soft instrumental fades into emptiness) It’s just that… I’m not ready for an ‘us.’
