Smoke In The Room
By The Amirra McCoy Project
[Verse 1] We started off with late-night laughs,
Coffee cups and midnight drafts.
Secrets spilled in candlelight,
Dreams we shared ’til morning bright.
But something stirred behind your eyes—
A heat that silence couldn’t disguise.
[Chorus] Now there’s smoke in the room where we used to just talk,
Heavy breath in the air, and a pause in our walk.
You touched my hand and time stood still,
Now every moment bends to will.
Lust played its tune on a broken piano,
And blurred the lines of all we used to know.
[Verse 2] I miss the days we didn’t pretend,
When every glance didn’t have to defend.
Now every smile feels like a dare,
And I catch myself just standing there—
Wanting more but mourning less,
Caught in the tide of a sweet undress.
[Bridge] You used to call when the sky would fall,
Now your voice sounds like a stranger’s drawl.
We crossed a line we can’t erase,
And now I barely recognize your face.
[Chorus – Reprise] There’s smoke in the room, and a chill in your tone,
We lit a fire, now we’re dancing alone.
What once was gold is turning grey,
And I don’t know what to do or say.
Lust came in like a thief in the night,
Took all the warmth, and turned off the light.
[Outro] Maybe one day we’ll laugh again,
But for now, we’re just might-have-beens.
And I sit with my drink, under a low-lit moon,
Remembering friendship before lust changed the tune.
