Love

Verse 1

I hear your footsteps in the quiet night,

Your sweater’s hanging where you left it last July.

Every word we said still burns my tongue,

But the one that breaks me most is the smallest one.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I whisper the word love when no one’s near,

It falls in the silence, but you don’t hear.

Like a secret too heavy, it cuts right through,

A broken promise I still keep for you.

⸻

Chorus (Soaring, Sad & Powerful)

I whisper the word love but it don’t reach your heart,

It just lingers like smoke in the dark.

Every memory aches, every shadow reminds,

We were forever, but forever left me behind.

And I can’t let go, though I’m trying to,

Baby, I’m still lost in the memory of you.

⸻

Verse 2

Your name’s an echo on an empty street,

I still set the table where you used to eat.

I close my eyes and call your face,

But all that answers is an empty space.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I whisper the word love in the dead of night,

Like a prayer with no heaven, no reply.

And the sound of it hurts more than goodbye,

But it’s all that’s left of you and I.

⸻

Chorus (Repeat, Bigger)

I whisper the word love but it don’t reach your heart,

It just lingers like smoke in the dark.

Every memory aches, every shadow reminds,

We were forever, but forever left me behind.

And I can’t let go, though I’m trying to,

Baby, I’m still lost in the memory of you.

⸻

Bridge (Soft, almost spoken, like an actual whisper)

Love… I still whisper it…

Love… though it’s breaking me…

Love… it was all we had…

Love… now it’s just a memory.

⸻

Final Chorus (Explosive then fading to a whisper)

I whisper the word love but it don’t reach your heart,

It just lingers like smoke in the dark.

Every heartbeat hurts, every tear I hide,

You were my forever, but forever said goodbye.

And I can’t move on, though I’m trying to,

Baby, I’m still lost in the memory of you.

Whispered fading outro:

Love… love… love…
