Orbit of Love

No Easy Fixes

Verse 1

I don't feel safe sleeping without you,

Hate what we've become.

I miss you, and you know that,

But you say you're fine like I'd buy that.

There's a silence in the bedroom,

There's a coldness in the sheets,

We're becoming two strangers

With a history between.

Pre-Chorus

The time it takes,

The fear it wakes,

This heart of mine

Still bends, still breaks.

This timeless pain,

This endless blue,

No matter where I run,

My grief leads back to you.

Chorus

There's no easy fixes,

No clean way to fall apart.

No cure for the distance

Growing deeper in the dark.

We're learning to drift apart,

But I still know you by heart.

We can sever every tie,

We can say our last goodbyes,

But we're still caught

In the orbit of love.

Verse 2

You tell me that you're alright,

I can hear it in your voice,

Like you've already made peace

With a life that isn't ours.

And I'm tired of pretending

That this doesn't leave a scar,

We're so close to being nothing,

Yet you're never really far.

Pre-Chorus

The nights grow long,

The days move on,

I keep replaying

Where we went wrong.

If time can heal,

Then why's it true

That every road I take

Still leads me back to you?

Chorus

There's no easy fixes,

No clean way to fall apart.

No cure for the distance

Growing deeper in the dark.

We're learning to drift apart,

But I still know you by heart.

We can sever every tie,

We can say our last goodbyes,

But we're still caught

In the orbit of love.

Bridge — stripped back, almost whispered

Maybe love doesn't leave

When the people let go.

Maybe it circles the ruins

Of a place we called home.

You're pulling away,

I'm learning to stay,

But how do I stop

Missing you every day?

I don't need forever.

I just wanted tonight

To feel like you were still here,

To sleep without saying goodbye.

Final Chorus — full instrumental, raw vocals

There's no easy fixes,

No way to undo the scars.

We can bury all the pieces,

Still remember what we are.

We're learning to drift apart,

Two fading lights in the dark.

And no matter how we try,

Some things never say goodbye.

We're letting go,

But not enough

To escape

The orbit of love.

Outro — fading synth, distant vocals

The time it takes...

The fear it wakes...

This heart of mine

Still aches, still aches.

No easy fixes.

No clean escape.

Still caught in the orbit...

Of love.
