[Intro – soft piano, distant pads, slow electronic pulse, Female voice, fragile, almost whispered]
[Pre-Verse]
Do you think you know
what I'm about to show… to you?
Would you ever know
my secret?
Would you ever think
I would regret
the time with you?
Maybe you don't know who I am
But I know…
Yes, but I know, I know
who you really are
[Verse 1 – piano + subtle electronic beat enters]
I see you
every day
I keep an eye on you
and watch your decay… day by day
Would you like
to know me
better in a way?
Would you like to show me
where you want to stay?
Where you want to stay…
stay…
[Pre-Chorus – synth tension building]
You hide behind your silence
like a shadow in the rain
But every little secret
whispers louder in your pain
[Chorus – big Bad Omens style drop, heavy guitars + synth bass]
Why do I have to tell you
how to feel
How to think
How to be real?
Why do I have to be you?
The only thing I want is
I would like to be…
like to be
With you
[Verse 2 – electronic groove, darker tone]
I hear your voice
in empty rooms
Like broken prayers
inside the gloom
You try to run
from what you made
But every step
is just another chain
Would you recognize me
if I changed my name?
Would you try to save me
or just turn away?
[Pre-Chorus – tension, layered vocals]
You pretend you're breathing
but your heart is turning cold
Every lie you're keeping
is a story never told
[Chorus – heavier, distorted backing vocals]
Why do I have to tell you how to feel
How to think
How to be real?
Why do I have to be you?
The only thing I want is
I would like to be…
like to be
With you
[Breakdown – dark electronic drop, whispered vocals]
I see you falling
slow motion in the dark
You built your heaven
out of broken parts
And now you wonder
why it falls apart
[Bridge – atmospheric, emotional build]
Maybe I was wrong
Maybe I was blind
Maybe every moment
was a lie you left behind
But every time I try
to leave you in the past
Your shadow finds me
pulling me back
[Epic Solo – soaring synth lead + emotional guitar solo, cinematic, Synth melody rises first
then a melancholic guitar solo answers it
huge reverb, emotional climax]
[Final Chorus – biggest section of the song]
Why do I have to tell you how to feel
How to think
How to be real?
Why do I have to be you?
The only thing I want is
I would like to be…
like to be
With you
Even if the world burns down
Even if we break somehow
I would still stay
With you
[Outro – piano returns, fading electronics]
I see you
every day
And I still watch your decay
But somehow
in the ruins
I stayed.
