[Verse 1 – soft, breathy, like a late-night confession; intimate and raw]
I heard the echoes in your empty room
The way your silence swallowed every tune
I wish I could rewrite the afternoon
Where I let slip the truth
[Verse 2 – tender, hesitant; voice cracks with regret]
I carried pieces I couldn’t hand
Words unsaid, like grains of sand
Slipping through, I watched you stand
And still, I let you go unplanned
[Pre-Chorus – gentle lift, trembling; like admitting what can’t be undone]
I never meant to leave you behind
I never meant to haunt your mind
[Chorus – fuller, open but restrained; heart on the line]
So can you hear me in the spaces I missed?
The quiet where I used to exist
All this love I kept too tightly inside
Now it’s breaking out, and I can’t hide
Tell me how to reach through what I’ve lost
Tell me how to bear this heavy cost
[Verse 3 – hushed, almost spoken; reflective, intimate]
I see your shadows in the morning light
Trace your shape in the fading night
I’d trade every unspoken fight
To make your broken whole again
[Pre-Chorus – same gentle rise, more pleading]
If I could turn back the hands of time
I’d mend the corners I left behind
[Chorus – slightly more emotional than before; quiet strength]
So can you hear me in the spaces I missed?
The quiet where I used to exist
All this love I kept too tightly inside
Now it’s breaking out, and I can’t hide
Tell me how to reach through what I’ve lost
Tell me how to bear this heavy cost
[Bridge – hushed, trembling; almost like a fragile vow]
Maybe someday you’ll forgive
Maybe someday we’ll live
Beyond the ache and the mistakes
Somewhere hearts can give
[Final Chorus – very soft, fading; like surrendering to hope]
I hope you hear me in the quiet land
Where love was lost but still stands
And I’m trying, though I fell through—
Into the shape I left of you
