Title: “Trash Night” Verse 1 We don’t talk We trail off Half-words Half-thoughts Every room Feels borrowed I got small Just to hold us You say “It’s nothing” Like a reflex Like a rule Silence learns How to bruise Without proof Pre-Chorus I stayed quiet Called it love Held the distance Long enough Chorus It’s trash night I let go What we were What we’re not I tried fixing Something gone Some things rot When they’re locked I loved you Once That was true But tonight I take you out Verse 2 I knew steps On the floor By the sound By the door I rehearsed Who to be So we’d last Peacefully You said I Asked too much Like wanting you Was a flaw I just needed You to show Up at all Pre-Chorus Every excuse I believed Every gap Was on me Chorus It’s trash night I let go What we were What we’re not I tried fixing Something gone Some things rot When they’re locked I loved you Once That was true But tonight I take you out Bridge This isn’t rage It’s air It’s space To breathe I don’t hate you I just won’t stay Where love Decomposes quietly Final Chorus It’s trash night Setting down What I can’t save What I’ve found I’m not bitter I’m awake I choose light Over weight I loved you Once That was true Now tonight I take you out Now tonight I take you out
