Pre-Intro (whispered ad-libs)]
(Echoed layers)
yeah…
she’s somewhere in the dark now…
I’m still here… still breathing her name…
⸻
[Verse 1]
I gave her light when her nights got colder
She said, “don’t try to fix me,” (but I hold her)
Every scar she hides, I tried to trace
Now she’s gone — like smoke in my veins
(ad-lib echo)
smoke in my veins… yeah…
My phone don’t ring, but my mind still bleeds
She’s fighting ghosts that I can’t see
Tried to love her slow, tried to let her heal
Now silence became the way she feels
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
She said “don’t wait for me” — but I still do
(yeah I still do…)
If love was easy, we’d be brand new
but I know the truth… I know the truth…
⸻
[Chorus]
So I stay quiet, I don’t move (oh no)
Giving space is my only proof (my only proof)
Even if she thinks I turned away (I never did)
I’m just fighting for her in another way
(echoed outro)
in another way… yeah… another way…
⸻
[Verse 2]
Her heart got debts she can’t afford
Letters unopened on the floor
Family cold, no one at the door
She learned that love can wound you more
(ad-libs)
more, more, more…
And I get lost inside her storm
Trying not to break the form
If I speak, I’ll scare her soul
If I stay, she might feel whole
⸻
[Bridge (soft falsetto)]
She said I’m free to love someone else (oh yeah)
But I can’t fake what my spirit felt (no no no)
Maybe pain is how we learn to pray
Maybe silence is the price we pay
(reversed echo: “price we pay… pay… pay…”)
⸻
[Final Chorus (extended)]
So I stay quiet, I don’t move
Giving space is my only proof (my only proof)
If she ever finds her peace again (oh lord)
I’ll be the calm beneath her rain
(ad-libs layered)
beneath her rain… her rain…
I’m still the calm… even if she never sees me again…
⸻
[Outro (whispered)]
yeah…
she’s somewhere healing…
I’m somewhere waiting…
but I won’t chase the ghost again.
