Verse 1 You talk like you’re teaching Like I missed the memo again Every sentence’s a sermon Every smile’s a threat in the end You say I’m “too much,” I’m “too loud” Funny, you never complain When the room goes quiet And I’m the one swallowing blame Pre-Chorus You don’t listen, you wait For your turn to be right I see the pattern now Clearer every night Chorus There’s static between us Every word breaks in two You say it’s my fault But it’s always been you I’m done biting my tongue Just to keep you amused There’s static between us And I’m cutting the fuse Verse 2 You love when I’m laughing As long as it’s on cue But the second I push back Suddenly I’m “hard to get through” You call it “just talking” I call it a game Where you move the goalposts And I carry the shame Pre-Chorus You dress control up Like it’s concern But I’ve learned the difference And I’ve learned to return it Chorus There’s static between us Every word breaks in two You say it’s my fault But it’s always been you I’m done biting my tongue Just to keep you amused There’s static between us And I’m cutting the fuse Bridge I used to shrink to fit the room Now I take up air You don’t miss me You miss control Let’s be fair Breakdown (half-time, shouted) I’m not “too much” You’re just not enough Final Chorus There’s static between us But I hear myself clear No more second-guessing No more fear You can keep your version I’ll keep my truth There’s static between us And I’m choosing me over you
