The Empty Space

[Intro - A solo, melancholic piano begins. The sound is clean and intimate, setting a somber, reflective tone.]
Vocalist:
Mmm...
Thought I knew what it felt like...
[Verse 1 - The vocals are soft and vulnerable, close to the mic.]
Vocalist:
Had a life, a schedule, and a smile on my face,
But it was all just a show.
'Cause behind it all, there was an empty space,
No matter who came, no one could fill the place.
Just a quiet kind of lonely, a feeling so deep,
A promise my heart wasn't meant to keep.
[Pre-Chorus - The piano chords become more urgent. Subtle drums enter with a quiet beat, building tension.]
Vocalist:
Then you walked in, and you saw the real me.
You didn't ask questions, you just set me free.
With every word you spoke, you started a fire,
Now you're the only one my heart desires.
[Chorus - The music explodes. Full drums enter with a massive beat. Lush strings and harmonies surge. The vocalist's voice shifts to a powerful, full-range, soaring belt, filled with cathartic emotion.]
Vocalist:
[Vocal swells to a powerful, full-throated belt.]
Oh, you filled the empty space,
And left me breathless without a trace.
You gave me a reason for every single breath,
And showed me a love that conquers death!
This isn't just a feeling, it's a new beginning,
And baby, you're the reason my soul is singing!
[Verse 2 - The music pulls back dramatically. Vocals are soulful and reflective.]
Vocalist:
I used to build walls, I used to run and hide,
But you knocked them all down, and you came inside.
I didn't know I could feel this way,
I didn't know I could live for a brand new day.
This quiet love you bring, it's a light,
And it's a different kind of right.
[Bridge - The music becomes sparse, focusing on a single, sustained piano chord. The vocals are at their most vulnerable, delivered with a raw, emotional ad-lib before reaching for a soaring climax.]
Vocalist:
[Voice cracks with emotion.]
I never knew I was missing you...
[Builds with a powerful crescendo to a sustained, high note.]
Until you were there!
[Final, powerful vocal run before the last chorus.]
[Chorus - The music re-enters with a final, overwhelming surge. Vocals are at their peak, powerful and cathartic, with more ad-libs.]
Vocalist:
[Raw, full-range intensity.]
Oh, you filled the empty space,
And left me breathless without a trace.
You gave me a reason for every single breath,
And showed me a love that conquers death!
This isn't just a feeling, it's a new beginning,
And baby, you're the reason my soul is singing!
[Outro - The music slowly fades out. The vocals are a final, powerful, ad-libbed declaration, becoming softer until only a single, lingering piano chord remains, leaving the song on a note of emotional resonance.]
Vocalist:
[Fading with ad-libs.]
My soul is singing... yeah...
You gave me a reason...
My soul... is singing...
