Lyrics

Every word, written by AI.

Verse 1
Midnight shadows standard on the bedroom floor
I say I’m leaving, but I’m standing right by the door
You keep your eyes down, pretending you don't care
But the air is heavy with the things we didn't share.
I swore I wouldn't call you when the city sleeps
'Cause every promise that I make to you, I never keep.
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause every time I step away, I pull right back
Trying to play it cool, but I'm losing track
I act like I'm unaffected, act like I'm moving on
But as soon as I walk out that door, the daylight's gone.
[Chorus]
I don't wanna tell you that I'm hurting tonight
I don't wanna tell you that you're still in my mind
I'm acting cold, but I'm burning inside
Trying to hide what I feel, putting up a fight.
'Cause if I say it out loud, then I gotta face the truth
I'm still looking for a way back home to you.
Yeah, I'm hiding behind this pride of mine
Hoping you don't see through the line.
[Verse 2]
Your picture's sitting face down on the nightstand wood
I told my friends I'm doing fine, better than I should
But every quiet moment brings your silhouette
And every single detail is a regret.
I hear your voice in every low synth note
Drowning in the words I never wrote.
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause every time I step away, I pull right back
Trying to play it cool, but I'm losing track
I act like I'm unaffected, act like I'm moving on
But as soon as I walk out that door, the daylight's gone.
[Chorus]
I don't wanna tell you that I'm hurting tonight
I don't wanna tell you that you're still in my mind
I'm acting cold, but I'm burning inside
Trying to hide what I feel, putting up a fight.
'Cause if I say it out loud, then I gotta face the truth
I'm still looking for a way back home to you.
Yeah, I'm hiding behind this pride of mine
Hoping you don't see through the line.
[Bridge]
[Guitar Solo / Vocal Improvisation - Low Hum]
Mm-mm... yeah...
Maybe I'm just foolin' myself...
Maybe there ain't nobody else...
I pretend it doesn't sting, pretend I'm alright
Standing out here in the cold moonlight.
[Chorus]
I don't wanna tell you that I'm hurting tonight
I don't wanna tell you that you're still in my mind
I'm acting cold, but I'm burning inside
Trying to hide what I feel, putting up a fight.
'Cause if I say it out loud, then I gotta face the truth
I'm still looking for a way back home to you.
[Outro]
Fade Out
Yeah, I'm still looking for you...
Hiding behind this pride...
Mm-mm...
Just another late night lie.
