The Day You Stopped Loving Me

[Verse 1]
You set your mug down
On the table ring you hate
Said my name too gently
Eyes already far away
I watched your shoulders stiffen
As you searched for softer words
But the truth came out so plainly
It almost didn’t hurt
[Chorus]
That was the day you stopped loving me
Syllables falling like glass at my feet
Every cracked promise
Echoes in this room
If this is the ending we couldn’t outrun
Then I’m the one who pulled apart the sun
I handed you the reason
You walked out of the bloom
[Verse 2]
I kept score with quiet silence
Sharpened every little slight
Turned our bedroom to a jury
I was always “being right”
You said
“I’m tired of feeling guilty
For the storms that you create”
And I laughed like it was nothing
As the floor began to shake
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
All the slammed doors
All the late drives
All the sharp words
Thrown like knives
You didn’t just vanish
You faded from my hands
I watched you go in inches
Still I never changed my stance
Now it haunts me
How you stared into the floor
Right before you said
You didn’t love me anymore
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Now I drink from your old cup
Let the cold air fill your chair
Every echo in this house
Sounds like you saying
You don’t love me
Anymore

Slow cinematic ballad built on close-mic’d piano and swelling strings. First verse is sparse—piano, soft pads, intimate female vocals. Each chorus adds more strings and low percussion, with subtle reversed swells for a haunted feel. Final section blooms with high strings, layered harmonies, and a distant choir pad, then drops back to just piano and voice on the last line. Very raw, breathy delivery; reverb tail long and dark., slow, raw, deep, female vocals
