Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1 – Soft, aching, almost whispered] The world is quieter tonight, Like even the stars forgot to shine. Your echo lingers in the halls, A shadow dancing on the walls. I reach for you but touch the air, Nothing left but memories there. [Pre-Chorus – Gentle rise, trembling emotion] I’m standing in the space you filled, Trying to understand this stillness… [Chorus – Strong, cinematic, heart-breaking release] How do I say goodbye? How do I let you go When every beat inside me Still calls your name like home? I’m learning how to breathe again, But damn, it’s slow— Tell me, how do I say goodbye, How do I let you go? [Verse 2 – Warm but grief-heavy, like a worn photograph] Your laughter lives in little things— The sidewalk cracks, the songs you’d sing. The moments slip like sand through hands, No matter how tight I try to stand. I keep the pieces that remain, A fragile comfort in the pain. [Pre-Chorus 2 – Soft, rising like a breaking wave] I’m standing in the space you filled, Trying to learn a world without you… [Chorus – Same lyrics, fuller instrumentation] How do I say goodbye? How do I let you go When every beat inside me Still calls your name like home? I’m learning how to breathe again, But damn, it’s slow— Tell me, how do I say goodbye, How do I let you go? [Bridge – Stripped down, raw, trembling] If love could pull you back to me, I’d break the sky, rewrite the sea. But life is cruel and time moves on, Even when the heart cannot stay strong. So I’ll hold your light, I’ll keep it close— You live inside the things I know. [Final Chorus – Bigger but softer, acceptance mixed with grief] How do I say goodbye? Maybe I never will… But I can let you rest now, Even if I’m hurting still. I’ll carry what you gave to me— The love, the hope, the glow… And slowly, I’ll say goodbye, And gently… I’ll let you go. [Outro – Quiet, almost a whisper] The world is quieter tonight. But I’m learning how to live the light you left behind.
