[Intro – dusty vinyl crackle + distant pads + soft spoken confession]
“It’s funny how you can lose someone…
and still feel them every time the bass hits.”
(murmured) Yeah… welcome back.
[Verse 1 – warm Rhodes keys + slow bounce beat]
You left your echo in my hallway,
Still hear it every time the lights turn low.
Your sweater’s hanging where you dropped it,
Like you’re daring me to finally let you go.
I trace the outline of your memory,
A silhouette I shouldn’t idolize.
But I’ve been living in the maybe,
Hoping healing might apologize.
[Pre-Chorus – layered falsetto harmonies + rising synth swell]
I keep rewinding
Every second that felt like gold.
But every time I try to find you
I just end up colder than before…
[Chorus – dreamy vocal stacks + airy drums + emotional lift]
So I breathe you out, breathe you out again,
Even though you settle back like smoke under my skin.
I erase you now, erase you now again,
But you bloom in all the cracks I swore I’d never fall in.
Tell me how do I forget
Someone who feels like my own heartbeat?
Breathe you out again—
but you keep finding me.
[Verse 2 – muted guitar plucks + soft kicks]
Your ghost is living in my playlists,
Skips to track three and you’re right there.
Every chorus tastes like goodbye,
Every bridge is just your vacant stare.
I try to drown you in new rhythms,
But you float up every time I blink.
Guess moving on ain’t in the tempo
When the past is looping in sync.
[Pre-Chorus – hushed but rising tension]
I keep rewinding
Every moment I should’ve burned.
And every time I think I’m rising
You pull me back like gravity returned…
[Chorus – fuller, brighter, emotional]
So I breathe you out, breathe you out again,
Even though you settle back like smoke under my skin.
I erase you now, erase you now again,
But you bloom in all the cracks I swore I’d never fall in.
Tell me how do I forget
Someone who feels like my own heartbeat?
Breathe you out again—
but you keep finding me.
[Bridge – ambient drop + whispered vocals]
Maybe losing you was mercy,
Maybe loving you was cost.
But I keep searching for the version
Of us that never got lost…
(soft echo) never got lost…
[Final Chorus – expanded harmonies + wide reverb]
So I breathe you out, breathe you out again,
But the ghost of you is camped out under my skin.
I erase you now, erase you now again,
But your echo is a language I keep slipping back in.
Tell me how do I forget
Someone who feels like my own heartbeat?
Breathe you out again—
but you keep finding me.
[Outro – soft detuned keys + fading heartbeat kick]
(murmured) If healing had a soundtrack…
this would be track one.
