Lyric

The room is holding too much heat

A blue cup marks the wooden table

Ice gives up without a sound

Like it knows we’re both unstable

You don’t ask me what I mean

I don’t say what I remember

Curtains move, the ceiling hums

Nothing breaks, it only softens

And all this summer light

Makes the damage feel slow

Not gone, not healed

Just easier to hold

The drink gets warmer in my hand

The afternoon bends out of shape

I let the silence lose its edge

Till the ache runs down my face

No thunder, no dramatic ending

Just the room breathing past

If sadness has to stay with me

Let it melt instead of crash

Your name is floating near my mouth

But I leave it in the weather

Some things look better blurred by heat

Some hearts move better under pressure

The street outside is bright and loud

A scooter fades around the corner

I laugh a little at myself

Like I’ve been sad too long to warn her

And all this golden air

Turns the hard parts loose

Not safe, not solved

Just softer than the truth

The drink gets warmer in my hand

The afternoon bends out of shape

I let the silence lose its edge

Till the ache runs down my face

No thunder, no dramatic ending

Just the room breathing past

If sadness has to stay with me

Let it melt instead of crash

Maybe nothing changed today

Maybe I only moved around it

Maybe heat is not a cure

Just a kinder way to drown it

But my shoulders drop a little

When the rhythm finds the floor

I don’t need to win the evening

I just need to want one more

The cup goes light between my fingers

The walls glow soft and uneven

I let the old hurt lose its shape

In the slow gold of the season

No rescue, no clean forgiveness

Just a small and warmer path

If sadness has to stay with me

Let it melt instead of crash
