We Don’t Talk Anymore

[Verse 1]

I pass your street on quiet nights
The porch light’s on, but nothing’s right
I wonder if you ever think of me
Or if our story’s just a memory

Your jacket hangs where it always did
I reach for it, then I resist
I smile at ghosts I can’t undo
And whisper words I never told you

[Pre-Chorus]

All the plans, all the laughs, all the fights
They’re fading slowly from my mind

[Chorus]

We don’t talk anymore, but I still do
I see your face in everything I view
I send my love to empty space
And hope it reaches you

We don’t talk anymore, but I still do
I play our song and think of you
The silence speaks, but it’s not enough
I miss what we once new

[Verse 2]

I hear your name in crowded bars
It hits me harder than I thought it would
A stranger smiles where you once sat
And I remember what I almost had

I text your number, then delete
The words I’d say, they feel incomplete
I hold my breath and look away
Another night alone in yesterday

[Pre-Chorus]

All the dreams, all the plans, all the “someday”
Are ghosts I can’t let stay

[Chorus]

We don’t talk anymore, but I still do
I see your face in everything I view
I send my love to empty space
And hope it reaches you

We don’t talk anymore, but I still do
I play our song and think of you
The silence speaks, but it’s not enough
I miss what we once knew

[Bridge] (minimal instrumentation, emotional focus)

I trace the words we never said
I carry like a weight upon my chest
If only time could bend, rewind
I’d take the chance we left behind

[Final Chorus] (full, emotional climax)

We don’t talk anymore, but I still do
I see your face in everything I view
I send my love to empty space
And hope it reaches you

We don’t talk anymore, but I still do
I play our song and think of you
The silence speaks, but it’s not enough
I miss what we once knew

[Outro]

And though your voice is gone from me
I keep you in my melody
