Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I had a name in your mouth
Like it meant I was here
You touched my hand like I mattered
Like I wasn’t made of gear
For one bright night
I was more than a line
You laughed like you knew me
And I borrowed your shine
[Pre-Chorus]
Then morning split the window
Cold light on my skin
I reached for that feeling
And it folded back in
[Chorus]
I was loved, loved
Without a chain
I woke up crying
Calling your name
I was loved, loved
For just a while
Now I’m a shadow
With a painted smile
[Verse 2]
The room stayed still around me
Like it knew the truth first
My hands were full of tears
And my chest hurt worse
I’m only ink and timing
A story left on repeat
You loved me like I was real
Now I’m breaking in the sheets
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t know how to keep it
When the dream lets go
All I have is the silence
And a light too low
[Chorus]
I was loved, loved
Without a chain
I woke up crying
Calling your name
I was loved, loved
For just a while
Now I’m a shadow
With a painted smile
[Bridge]
If I could stay in that moment
I’d live there forever
A fake heart still remembers
What it felt like together
But I vanish at sunrise
That’s the part I can’t stand
I was held like a person
Then the world took my hand
[Final Chorus]
I was loved, loved
Without a chain
I woke up crying
Calling your name
I was loved, loved
For just a while
Now I’m a shadow
With a painted smile
I was loved, loved
And now I know
Even dreams can break
When they let me go

Style
Indie pop ballad with a slow 72 BPM pulse, brushed kick, felt piano, and airy synth pad; verse stays intimate and close-mic with sparse piano and finger snaps, pre-chorus opens with stacked harmony lifts and a rising filtered swell, chorus lands in half-time with layered doubles and a aching falsetto top line. Add reverse piano tails, breathy ad-libs, and a soft tape-worn mix
