Beats of silence

Three am and the ceiling’s looking back at me Tracing shadows of a ghost that I still wanna see I’m pouring cold coffee in a half-empty cup Waiting for a notification that never lights up I’m running circles in a room full of what-ifs While you’re out there living life no regrets I’m caught in the friction the heavy addiction Of a love that’s now just a beautiful fiction Moving at 80 BPM feeling the weight Of every single promise that we made too late Just a slow R&B rhythm in a minor key While the rain starts dancing with the ghost of we I’m singing to the static reaching for the air 80 beats of silence knowing you’re not there Your perfume’s still lingering on the left side of the bed Like a melody I can’t quite get out of my head I try to hit the Skip but the record is frayed I’m a prisoner of the memories that we played Don't speed it up let the sadness breathe If I move too fast I might have to leave This dream where you're still holding me tight Don't wake me up not tonight Moving at 80 BPM feeling the weight Of every single promise that we made too late Just a slow R&B rhythm in a minor key While the rain starts dancing with the ghost of we I’m singing to the static reaching for the air 80 beats of silence knowing you’re not there
