Bad Limerence, Piano (unreleased)
Hey everyone,
This isn't perfect... honestly, it's not even a release.
It's just an unreleased song I wanted to share, especially for those of you who enjoyed the piano versions I've been posting lately.
The arrangement is still very raw. Nothing is really finished yet.
The reason it's staying unreleased is that it's probably a little too personal. It's a small fragment of my life from late 2025, and for a long time I wasn't sure I wanted anyone else to hear it.
But sometimes a song doesn't need to be finished to be honest.
I hope you'll enjoy it. 🤍
==================
[VERSE]
Midnight on your empty street
Headlights cutting through the rain
Two hours just to reach your door
Then turn around again
You were sleeping when I came
So I let the silence win
Halfway home your message lit
The dark I was driving in
Underneath the yellow streetlight
Pajamas in the cold night air
You stood outside my window
Like nothing needed to be said
You in the quiet, me in the car
Just inches in between
Close enough to feel the tension
Too careful to be seen
[PRE-CHORUS]
Your silence said more than your voice
But neither crossed the line
We let the moment stay undefined
As if that would keep it fine
[CHORUS]
You’re so close to me
Bad limerence in the light
Somewhere between a spark
And something we don’t define
You don’t give it a name
I don’t force it to
But something in this distance
Feels painfully true
You’re so close to me
Bad limerence, me and you
[VERSE]
We planned a simple movie night
But nothing stayed aligned
No seats left, the system failed
Bad timing every time
You caught the flu, I hurt my leg
Everything went wrong
And somehow in the middle of it
We stayed, though we didn’t hold on
They say what matters shows itself
When comfort falls apart
Maybe truth appears more clear
When things don’t start
[BRIDGE]
Funny how when things felt easy
That’s when everything collapsed
No fire, no loud goodbye
Just silence, cold and flat
No more calls, no late night lights
No messages to read
You walked away without a sound
Like distance was what you need
You’re so far from me
Further than before
Rooms without your shadow
Closed and quiet doors
And still
You’re so close to me
Closer than I can explain
Like something in my bloodstream
Still carries your name
[FINAL CHORUS]
You’re so far from me
No touch, no trace, no sign
Just empty space between us
And too much silent time
You’re so close to me
Bad limerence remains
Buried under distance
Under unspoken pain
No reason, no conclusion
No logic I can see
You’re so far from me
And still so close to me
[OUTRO]
Do I have to wait for hell on earth
For you to reach for my hand
Because what survives the fire
Isn’t comfort, isn’t demand
It’s the grip that doesn’t loosen
When everything else bends
You’re so far from me
You’re so close to me
And I still don’t know whymore
