[Intro - whispered]
I woke up on the floor, phone screen cracked in two
Your last text a ghost I can’t delete — (can’t delete)
A hum in the ceiling, keeps the night awake
[Verse 1]
I count missed calls at 3 AM, your name like static
Coffee gone cold, ash on the carpet, eyes so frantic
Bedroom lamp flickers like a heartbeat that forgot to start
I press play on a voice note — you sound miles apart
Scratched vinyl laugh in my head, the chorus cuts and skips
I keep replaying our good parts like a broken relationship
The landlord put a notice, but I got louder holes inside
I tape the window shut so the rain don’t watch me cry
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m small in the mirror, big on the edge
Silent rooms, loud regrets
[Chorus]
I swallow the night, but it bites me back
Hands full of broken, pockets full of black
I scream until my throat forgets the sound
Fall into these sheets — no ground
Inner wars, no medals, just stains on my skin
Maybe peace is just a rumor — maybe peace is a sin
[Verse 2]
There’s a tattoo I covered — name faded, ink like fog
I pass that coffee shop where we said forever, still on the log
My friends send memes, I send nothing, read receipts like knives
I trace the bruise on my mind where sunlight used to drive
I autopilot through the day, smile like a cracked arcade
Boss said, “pull it together,” I laughed and then I stayed
On the bench outside the clinic, humming a lullaby I hate
Told myself not to call you back, but my thumb betrayed the wait
[Pre-Chorus - whisper]
I’m small in the mirror, big on the edge
Silent rooms, loud regrets
[Chorus]
I swallow the night, but it bites me back
Hands full of broken, pockets full of black
I scream until my throat forgets the sound
Fall into these sheets — no ground
Inner wars, no medals, just stains on my skin
Maybe peace is just a rumor —
[Interlude - sparse piano, hum]
(hum) ooh — ooh
(whisper) don’t tell them I’m fragile
(soft scream) ahhh
[Bridge - spoken, intimate]
I typed your name then deleted it three times
Each letter heavier than the last breath I tried to keep
There’s a pebble in my shoe and it knows every step I make
I keep replaying the way you left, like it’s a song stuck on ache
[Breakdown - sudden staccato beat]
I run my fingers on the glass, watching rain draw crooked maps
Heartbeat in my throat, tick-tock fills the gaps
(brief scream)
[Final Chorus - layered, one unexpected line]
I swallow the night, but it bites me back
Hands full of broken, pockets full of black
I scream until my throat forgets the sound
Fall into these sheets — no ground
Inner wars, no medals, just stains on my skin
Maybe peace is just a rumor — or a room I never been
[Outro - fading, whispered + hum]
Phone dies, screen goes dark, your name a quiet ache
I learn to breathe between the lightning and the break
Maybe peace is just a rumor —
(murmur) maybe peace is a rumor —
