Intro – Soft Piano, Low Vocals]
🎶 (Spoken softly, almost a whisper)
It started with a smile…
I swore I’d never let you down.
But time… has a way of changing everything.
(Gentle piano chords, strings softly swelling in the background.)
[Verse 1 – Low, Tender Vocals]
We met in a crowded room,
Your laugh cut through the noise like truth.
I was a shadow, you were the light,
Pulling me closer, night after night.
We danced under city skies,
I saw forever in your eyes.
But forever, babe,
Was just a word we couldn’t save.
[Pre-Chorus – Slow Build, Rising Notes]
🎶 And I swore I’d keep you safe in my arms,
Through every storm, through every scar…
But promises fade when the night gets cold,
And love turns heavy when we can’t hold… 🎶
(Strings swell; piano grows louder.)
[Chorus – Big High Notes, Emotional Belting]
🎶 So I’m fallin’, fallin’ just to let you gooooo! (ohhh-ohhhhhh!)
I’m breakin’, breakin’ but I love you sooooo! (sooo-ooo-ooo!)
Every piece of me still calls your name…
But holding on would only bring you pain…
So I’m fallin’, fallin’, babe, to let you gooooo… 🎶 *(Powerful melisma on “goooo…”)
[Verse 2 – Story Deepens, Smooth but Stronger]
We built a life of fragile glass,
Hoping that the cracks would pass.
I held you tighter, you pulled away,
We lost the words we used to say.
And I’d rather see you smile alone,
Than watch you crumble while you’re close…
Sometimes the greatest love
Is learning how to let it go.
[Pre-Chorus – Tension and Power, Higher Notes]
🎶 And I swore I’d keep you safe in my arms,
Through every storm, through every scar…
But promises fade when the night gets cold,
And dreams collapse when we can’t hold… 🎶
[Chorus – Even Bigger, Full Riffs & Strings]
🎶 So I’m fallin’, fallin’ just to let you gooooo! (ohhh-ohhhhhh!)
I’m breakin’, breakin’ but I love you sooooo! (sooo-ooo-ooo!)
Every piece of me still calls your name…
But holding on would only bring you pain…
So I’m fallin’, fallin’, babe, to let you gooooo… 🎶 *(Huge riff on “gooooo…”)
[Bridge – Emotional Peak, High & Falsetto Moment]
🎶 Ohhhhh… I’d give the world just to see you free… (ohhhh, yeahhhh!)
Even if that means you’re not with meeeee…
Our love was fire, but now it’s rain…
I’ll walk away through all the painnnnn… (big riff on “painnnnn”)*
[Final Chorus – Climactic, Belting & Adlibs]
🎶 I’m fallin’, fallin’ just to let you gooooo! (ohhh-ohhh-yeahhh!)
I’m breakin’, breakin’, but I love you sooooo! (love you soooo, yeahhh!)
Every piece of me still calls your name…
But holding on would only bring you painnnn… (painnnn-ohhh!)
So I’m fallin’, fallin’, babe, to let you gooooo… 🎶
(Adlibs: “Let you goooo, ohhh-ohhh, yeahhh!”)
[Outro – Soft Piano Fade]
🎶 Let you go… ohhh-ohhh…
Fallin’ to let you go… 🎶 (Fade out with gentle piano and strings.)
