Intro (fragile, whispered, almost breaking — hook, with echoes)
I keep staring at the ceilinggg (ceiling… ceiling…)
Asking God if I’m still breathinnn (breathin’… breathin’…)
Every night I get this feelinnn (feelin’… feelin’…)
I ask myself while I’m reeeaden…
Was it the flowers? Was it my car?
Did you know I took out a loan just to go that far?
Coffee receipts, and a detailed ride,
Every penny I spent was to keep you satisfied.
Why does it hurt when I gave you it allll? (all… all…)
I gave it my best, now I’m waiting on your call. (your call… your call…)
Ooooh mmm, oooh mm, (runs like “ahh-oooh-ahh”)
So I’m laying, staring at the ceilinggg…
Asking God if I’m still breathinnn.
I guess I’ll wait for your call… (wait… your call…)
I guess I’ll wait for your call… (wait… your call…)

Verse 1 (soft, cracked voice, heavy rhymes, echo layers)
I broke myself just to keep you whole,
Lost my mind, nearly sold my soul.
Worked long nights, barely made it through,
Every dollar I earned, I spent on you.
I lit up rooms just to hide my pain,
Smiled through storms, stood in the rain.
But you walked away, let the silence fall,
Now I’m chained to the sound of your ghost’s last call.
⸻
Pre-Chorus (aching, building tension — echoed)
Every scar is a story you carved on meee (meee…)
Every tear is a secret they’ll never seeee (seee…)
I should’ve broken, I should’ve died,
But the hurt you left just kept me alive.
⸻
Chorus (soaring, metabolic hook, echoes)
🎶 How did I survive you? (survive you… survive you…)
How did I crawl through the fire you lit?
Every piece of me shattered,
And you walked away like none of it mattered. 🎶
🎶 Still I wait for your call,
Yes, I wait for your call.
Even if it never comes at all,
I’ll be waiting… still waiting for your call. 🎶
⸻
Verse 2 (confessional, conversational, with rhyme punches)
Your sweater’s still folded on the closet floor,
Smells like that night when you slammed the door.
I begged these walls, “please talk me down,”
But they echoed your voice, that familiar sound.
I wrote your name till the ink turned dry,
Carved it in blood when my tears ran shy.
I built a coffin out of every dream,
Buried myself where no one could see.
⸻
Pre-Chorus (heavier, breaking voice)
Every scar is a chapter you burned on meee (meee…)
Every scream is a secret I let bleed freeee (freeee…)
I should’ve faded, I should’ve gone,
But the pain keeps dragging me on.
⸻
Chorus (layered, trembling, choir echoes)
🎶 How did I survive you? (survive you… survive you…)
How did I breathe when you stole the air?
Every memory’s a dagger,
But I still wake up and you’re not there. 🎶
🎶 Still I wait for your call,
Yes, I wait for your call.
Even if it never comes at all,
I’ll be waiting… still waiting for your call. 🎶
⸻
Bridge (haunting, whispered, with intro hook returning)
I keep staring at the ceilinggg (ceiling… ceiling…)
Asking God if I’m still breathinnn (breathin’… breathin’…)
