🩸 LYRICS
Intro (spoken, distant):
I still carry your name
Just not your hand
⸻
Verse 1:
I see your smile in strangers
Hear your laugh in empty rooms
Every memory cuts deeper
Because none of them are new
I traced your shadow through my veins
Hoping time would let you fade
But love doesn’t rot quietly
It screams while it decays
⸻
Pre-Chorus (pull back → tension):
If loving you means letting go
Then I’ll do it alone
⸻
Chorus (POWERFUL, EMOTIONAL):
I hope you find the life you dreamed
Even if I’m not there
I’ll swallow every shattered thought
So you don’t have to care
If happiness is choosing him
Then I won’t stand in the way
I’ll carry this weight in silence
And pray you’re okay
⸻
Verse 2:
I rehearsed a thousand endings
All of them kept you here
But reality is colder
Than anything I feared
You don’t owe me forever
You don’t owe me the pain
If walking away saves your heart
Then I’ll stay in the rain
⸻
Chorus (repeat — bigger, layered):
I hope you find the life you dreamed
Even if it kills me slow
If your peace is without my name
Then I’ll learn to let it go
⸻
🔥 BUILD → BREAKDOWN
Build-Up (last vocals):
Go
Be free
Don’t look back
Don’t look at me
I’ll survive
I swear—
⸻
Breakdown (INSTRUMENTAL ONLY):
(No vocals — let the emotion breathe)
(Heavy chugging
Suffocating rhythm
Pain without anger
Acceptance without relief)
⸻
Final Chorus (last, raw, honest):
I loved you more than I could show
More than I should admit
If loving you means losing you
Then this is it
Final Chorus (REPEATED — BIGGER, LAST TIME):
I hope you find the life you dreamed
Even if I’m not there
I’ll swallow every shattered thought
So you don’t have to care
If happiness is choosing him
Then I won’t stand in the way
I’ll carry this weight in silence
And pray you’re okay
⸻
FINAL BUILD-UP (last vocals before end):
Go
Be free
Live the life
I couldn’t give
I’ll stay here
And bleed—
⸻
FINAL BREAKDOWN (INSTRUMENTAL ONLY — MOST POWERFUL):
(No vocals)
(Slower, crushing chugs at first
Then faster, relentless rhythm
Heavy double-kicks
Wide, emotional guitar tone
Let the pain breathe
Let it collapse)
(End on a massive final hit or ringing chord)
⸻
Outro
(very quiet)
I still love you
