Intro (fragile, whispered, almost breaking — hook)
(Each long word sustains across beats; echo in parentheses)
I keep staaaaring at the ceeeiiilinggg (ceiling… ceiling…)
Aaaasking Goooood if I’m still breeeathinnnn (breathin’… breathin’…)
Every niiiiight I get this feeeeelin’ (feelin’… feelin’…)
I aaask myseeeelf while I’m reeeeadeen… (reeeaden…)
Waaas it the flooowers?
Waaas it my caaar?
Did you knooow I took out a loooan
to pay for your cooooffee and my detailed caaar?
Why does it huuurt when I gave you it alllll (al… al… al…)
I gave it my beeeest shot,
I’m still waaaaiting on your caaall… (your call… your call…)
(soft humming — “oooh mm, oooh mm, aaahh oooh”)
⸻
Verse 1 (soft, cracked voice, stretched)
I reeeplay the niiights, the small things I gaaave,
Every saaaacrifice that you just waaaved.
You wooore my love like a coooat for the coooold,
But left meee empty, brooooken, and oooold.
Every floooower I bought still diiies in the vaaase,
Every miiile in my car still remembers your faaace.
I beeeent ’til I broke, I loooost who I waaass,
But it still wasn’t enooough for your loooove.
⸻
Pre-Chorus (rising, aching, elongated)
I shooould let gooo, but the siiilence won’t faaaall (fall… fall…)
I gave you my heaaaart, but you gave me the waaaall (wall… wall…)
I’m loooost in the eeechoes, I’m loooost in it aaaall (all… all…)
Stiiill waaaaiting, stiiill waaaaiting for your caaall… (call… call…)
⸻
Chorus (soaring, trembling, UK cadence, metabolic hook)
🎶 Sooo I’m laaaaying, staaaaring at the ceeeiiilinggg (ceilinggg… ceilinggg…)
Aaaasking Goooood if I’m still breeeathinnnn (breathin’… breathin’…)
I gave you the beeeest, but it waaasn’t enooough,
Now I’m drooowning in the ruuuiins of looove. 🎶
🎶 And I’ll waaaait for your caaall, (wait… your call…)
Yeees, I’ll waaaait for your caaall. (call… call…)
Eeeven if it neeeever cooomes at allll,
I’ll be waaaiting… I’ll be waaaiting for your caaall. 🎶
⸻
Verse 2 (confessional, conversational, stretched)
Do you eeeven knooow the deeeebt that I hiiide?
The sleepless niiiights where I almooost diiied?
I carved out a fuuuture with your naaaame in stooone,
But I’m still heeere bleeeeding, left on my ooown.
I dreessed up my paaaain just to maaaake you smiiile,
Raaaan on eeeempty for you all the whiiile.
And stiiill you sliiipped out, left me to faaall,
But I’m stiiill heeere waaaiting on your caaall.
⸻
Pre-Chorus (building heavier, voice breaking, elongated)
I shooould mooove on, but the siiilence won’t faaaall (fall… fall…)
Your ghooost keeps waaaalking through eeevery haaaall (hall… hall…)
I’m stuuuck in the saaaame place, stuuuck in the staaall (stall… stall…)
Stiiill waaaaiting, stiiill waaaaiting for your caaall… (call… call…)
⸻
Chorus (soaring, layered echoes)
🎶 Sooo I’m laaaaying, staaaaring at the ceeeiiilinggg (ceilinggg… ceilinggg…)
Aaaasking Goooood if I’m still breeeathinnnn (breathin’… breathin’…)
I gave you the beeeest, but it waaasn’t enooough,
