Trauma Couple
Lo-fi anti-folk, slow tempo 70-80 BPM. Male vocals, lazy, deadpan delivery, slightly off-key. Acoustic guitar sloppy strumming, brushed snare minimal, dull bass slightly off-tune. Organ with cheap reverb, tape hiss, room noise (chair creaks, sighs, faint TV). Mood: melancholic, ironic, dark, awkwardly honest.

Lyrics
Intro
Verse 1
You said you're scared of being left behind,
I said I'm scared of letting anyone inside.
You asked me, “What are we really?”
I said, “Maybe just two idiots too broken to be picky.”
Chorus
We’re dating but both of us are traumatized,
Hugging tight while both our hearts apologize.
I’m scared you’ll leave, you’re scared I’ll lie,
But honestly, we both just wanna sleep at night.
Verse 2
I fight with my head in the middle of the night,
You cry in silence under office bathroom lights.
We text each other like we’re doing fine,
But deep down we both know we’re not alright.
Chorus
We’re dating but both of us are traumatized,
Loving close while keeping distance in disguise.
I’m scared of betrayal, you’re scared of being erased,
But really we just need someone to hold us in place.
Bridge
Therapists say we need to heal,
But healing costs money, and money needs work,
Work makes us tired, tired makes us hurt,
So let’s just lay here faking peace until it works.
Outro
We’re dating but both of us are traumatized…
But oh well…
I guess everyone’s broken anyway.
