La-la-la-lie

[Verse 1]
I woke up to the fridge humming your favorite song
Your toothbrush still wet, but the water’s long gone
Coffee went cold, I drank it black like my lungs
Tasted like the “forevers” that slipped off your tongue

[Pre-Chorus]
Every mirror’s a crime scene, lipstick on the frame
Every shadow’s a witness whispering your name

[Chorus]
Sing me to sleep with the pills on the shelf!
I’m slow-dancing with death in a room by myself!
Catchy little hook for a heart that won’t heal-
La-la-la-lie, this pain is so real!
La-la-la-lie, I’m already gone!
Play it on repeat till the feeling is numb!

[Verse 2]
Your voicemail still says “leave it at the beep”
I call every hour just to hear you breathe
The cat stopped eating, she waits by the door
Paws on the glass like she’s begging for more

[Verse 3]
I wore your hoodie till the scent turned to dust
Now it hangs in the closet like a criminal’s trust
Neighbors stopped knocking, they know what they’d find
A man made of echoes and cheap boxed wine

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I wrote “come home” on the fog of the glass
Watched it vanish like every second chance

[Chorus]
Sing me to sleep with the pills on the shelf!
I’m crowd-surfing through hell in a room by myself!
Catchy little hook for a heart that won’t heal-
La-la-la-lie, this pain is so real!
La-la-la-lie, I’m already gone!
Play it on repeat till the feeling is numb!

[Bridge 1]
If heaven’s got Wi-Fi, send me a sign
A thumbs-up emoji, anything fine
I’d trade every tomorrow for one more tonight
But the screen stays black and the stars lost their light

[Bridge 2]
I dug through the laundry, found your airplane ticket stub
Destination: anywhere but here, anywhere but us
The departure board blinks like a heart giving up
Gate 23, final call, but I’m still in love

[Breakdown]
Tick… tick… tick…
(That’s the clock counting heartbeats I’ll never get back)

[Chorus]
Sing me to sleep… (voice breaks)
I’m dancing with death… (string bends sharp)
Catchy little hook… (feedback howls)
La-la-la-lie… (whisper)
La-la-la-lie… (barely air)

[Outro]
“Hey, it’s me… pick up… I miss you already.”
[Beep… line dead.]
