Title: “Background Noise” Verse 1 Late-night calls when the lights were low You said “I got you,” now I don’t know Smiles came easy when the room felt loud But silence shows who’s really around Pre-Chorus You laughed the loudest when the jokes were mine But disappeared when I crossed that line Chorus You were just background noise in my headphones Static talk when I needed real tones Said my name, but you never meant it I see through the love you rented Now I’m cool on my own, no defense Just me, no fake friends Verse 2 Pictures posted like we’re still tight But you never checked in real life I watered plants that were already dead Gave you truth, you wanted trends Pre-Chorus I don’t need crowds, I just need real Funny how peace is the best thing I feel Chorus You were just background noise in my headphones Static talk when I needed real tones Said my name, but you never meant it I see through the love you rented Now I’m cool on my own, no defense Just me, no fake friends Bridge No hard feelings, I just learned Some bridges burn so you don’t return I’m lighter now, moving slow Protect my heart, let the rest go Outro Late-night walks with my thoughts clear Less voices now, but the ones here Yeah, I’m cool on my own, it makes sense Just me, no fake friends
