Quietly Falling Apart (Remix)
A song made by Toni Ajayi
You stopped asking how my day was
Somewhere between the coffee and goodbye
I notice how you fold the sheets now
Careful, like they're not ours anymore
Your phone face-down on the counter
Messages I don't ask about
We speak in weather and logistics
The small talk of strangers who share a bed
Your laugh doesn't reach your eyes
Sharper now, or maybe I'm just listening
We're quietly falling apart
No screaming, no door slam finale
Just the slow fade of touch
The way you turn away in sleep
Eish, we're quietly falling apart
Like leaves nobody notices leaving
I watch you choose the other room
Headphones in, world out
We've learned to live as roommates
Polite, distant, hollow
Your mother asked if we were okay
And I lied so smoothly it scared me
When did honesty become too heavy?
When did staying become easier than the truth?
We're quietly falling apart
No screaming, no door slam finale
Just the slow fade of touch
The way you turn away in sleep
Yebo, we're quietly falling apart
Like leaves nobody notices leaving
I packed a bag on a Tuesday
While you slept, sharp sharp
Not running, just choosing myself
For the first time in so long
The apartment looked smaller when I left
Like it had been holding its breath
And finally could exhale
Now the silence is just silence
No one to fill it
No one to run from
Just me and the space where you were
Quietly falling apart
