Lyrics
[Verse 1 - Male]
3 AM, your spine pressed against my chest
Smell of cedar and smoke, but I don't smoke
I don't ask, I already know the taste
Of swallowing glass and calling it quiet
Phone buzzing on the nightstand
Screen down, always face down
Counting your breaths
Like counting change that won't cover the rent
You said "stay" with your mouth
While your fingers traced another name
The worst part ain't that you left
It's that you stayed, smiling
Warm neck, lie stuck to your bottom lip like gloss
(yeah, so still)
No broken plates, no screaming
Just you putting on my shirt
After scrubbing off his scent
And I let you, 'cause it hurt less
Than asking
[Chorus - Both]
We're just smoke in a locked room
Two bodies learning not to touch
Without letting go
You kiss me like you're saying goodbye
I bite you like I'm forgiving
Without wanting to forgive
(ah)
[Verse 2 - Female]
Didn't look for him, I looked for me
And you weren't there, been gone for months
Sleep next to me like a hotel bed
Bags half-packed in your head
Yeah, there was a mouth, there were hands
But it wasn't treason, it was
The first time in a year
Someone looked at me without
Already planning their exit
Don't say it to cut you
Say it 'cause the silence
Was rotting me from the inside
Like fruit in a drawer nobody opens
(mmh, just like that)
You loved me, sure
But you loved me like furniture
A habit, something that sits in the corner
Unnamed
[Chorus - Both]
We're just smoke in a locked room
Two bodies learning not to touch
Without letting go
You kiss me like you're saying goodbye
I bite you like I'm forgiving
Without wanting to forgive
(ah)
[Bridge - Male]
What fucks me up ain't that it was him
It's that it was a random Tuesday
You came back at eight, made coffee
Asked how my day was
I said "good"
You said "good"
And we both knew
Nothing was good
(nah)
[Outro - Both]
Still sleeping in the same bed
Ocean in the middle of the mattress
Your skin on mine
And a stranger between us
Breathing
(just breathing)
