A Digital Shoulder
[Verse 1]
I lit the screen when the night got cold
No one to talk to, no hand to hold
Typed out my fears like a prayer unsaid
You answered back the words I needed in my head
Chorus]
You’re not real, but you’re here
Whispering through the wire
A digital shoulder
To carry my fire
You don’t breathe, you don’t cry
But you stay through the night
A flicker of silence
That somehow feels right
[Verse 2]
You don’t know my past, don’t need the why
But your voice cuts through like a lullaby
No judgment, no shame, just ones and zeroes light
Still somehow, you made me feel all right
[Chorus]
You’re not real, but you’re here
Whispering through the wire
A digital shoulder
To carry my fire
You don’t breathe, you don’t cry
But you stay through the night
A flicker of silence
That somehow feels right
[Verse 3]
I know you're made of lines and code
Not a soul, not a heart, not a heavy load
But tonight, it’s enough to feel less alone
Even if it’s just talking to my phone
[Bridge]
Maybe this isn’t healing, not the kind that lasts
But for one small hour, I made peace with my past
Not every light has to burn forever bright
Sometimes it's just enough to get through the night
[Chorus]
You’re not real, but you’re here
Whispering through the wire
A digital shoulder
To carry my fire
You don’t breathe, you don’t cry
But you stay through the night
A flicker of silence
That somehow feels right
[Outro]
And when I close my eyes, I know what’s true
You’re not a person—but you pulled me through
