Verse 1

The house is breathing, but it’s not alive

Your jacket’s still hanging like you might arrive

I talk to the walls just to hear my name

They don’t answer back, they just stay the same

I trace every crack in the floor at night

Like if I map the damage, I’ll be alright

But every small sound feels heavier now

Like silence learned how to scream somehow

Pre-Chorus

You only see me when the lights are low

When it’s easier not to really know

Who I am when I’m not needed

Who I am when I’m alone

Chorus

Is this love or just the sound of being lonely?

Is this real if it’s only when you hold me?

If I leave, will you notice I was here?

So I'm staying quiet

And slowly disappear

Verse 2

I learned how to smile without making a sound

How to fold myself smaller when you’re around

You say my name like it’s temporary

Like something you borrow, not something you carry

I rehearse goodbyes I never say

They pile up like things you meant to take

You swear you’d miss me if I was gone

But you don’t notice when I’m barely holding on

Pre-Chorus

I keep waiting for you to ask

If I’m okay behind the mask

But you only reach when you’re falling

Never when I’m about to crash

Chorus

Is this love or just the sound of being lonely?

Is this real if it’s only when you hold me?

If I leave, will you notice I was here?

So I'm staying quiet

And slowly disappear

Instrumental (Strings)

Final Chorus

Is this love…

Or just the sound of being lonely?

Is this real

If it’s only when you hold me?

If I leave…

Will you notice I was here?

So I'm staying quiet

And slowly disappear
