[Verse 1] I kept my door shut, kept my curtains drawn Told myself that quiet never hurts anyone But the silence had a weight I couldn’t carry alone And somehow it spilled out, crept into your home
You were just standing there, in the wrong place Caught the cold that I was breathing into space Didn’t mean to pull you under, didn’t say a word But the damage doesn’t care about intent
[Pre-Chorus] And I watched you try to read me like a map with missing roads While your people asked you “what is wrong with her?” You had no answer, and that was all my fault
[Chorus] Overtalking, overstepping All the ones who got caught in between Overthinking, oversharing Collateral damage to the ones unseen I wasn’t the storm, I thought I was the wall But walls can be made of straw and still fall Overlapping, overlapping And I’m sorry for the space I took from you
[Verse 2] There’s a dinner I ruined just by being there Too many one-word answers, too much empty air Someone made a joke, the table laughed but me You laughed too late, overcompensating for free
The group photo, you standing next to me Smiling hard enough for both of us to breathe I never asked you to, you just always did And I never even noticed what that cost
[Pre-Chorus] And I watched you try to fix me like a clock with missing hands While the others thought you had it figured out You were just guessing, and I let you drown in it
[Chorus] Overtalking, overstepping All the ones who got caught in between Overthinking, oversharing Collateral damage to the ones unseen I wasn’t the storm, I thought I was the wall But walls can be made of straw and still fall Overlapping, overlapping And I’m sorry for the space I took from you
[Bridge] It’s not a wound you can point to It’s not a fight, it’s not a name It’s the slow accumulation Of all the things I didn’t say You gave me room and I took it You gave me time and I stayed still And somewhere in that stillness I forgot you needed something real
[Final Chorus] Overtalking, overstepping All the ones who got caught in between Overthinking, oversharing I was the fog and you were walking through I wasn’t the storm, I thought I was the wall But walls can be made of straw and still fall Overlapping, overlapping I see it now, I see what I put you through
[Outro] Overlapping Collateral Damage Stay away, don’t get dragged in —
[cold ending] [Spoken word] There are compounding risks and unintended consequences here. I strongly advise stepping back and avoiding the situation. [Spoken word] [cold ending]
