**[Intro]** *(soft piano, ambient guitar, distant vocal layers)*
I've been talking to the silence...
And somehow it knows my name.
---
**[Verse 1]** *(clean R&B-inspired vocals)*
Your shadow still sleeps beside me,
Even though the bed's gone cold.
Every promise left abandoned,
Turns to dust I can't let go.
Mirror says I'm getting older,
Eyes that barely recognize.
I've been chasing pieces of you,
Through the wreckage of my mind.
---
**[Pre-Chorus]** *(building tension)*
Tell me...
Was I ever enough?
Or was I just another heart
You learned to give up?
---
**[Chorus]** *(huge melodic chorus)*
I'm screaming into empty rooms,
Waiting for your voice to answer.
Every memory cuts me open,
Every heartbeat's getting darker.
If love survives, then why am I
Buried underneath its weight?
You walked away with all my colour...
Now every sunrise feels too late.
---
**[Verse 2]** *(R&B groove returns)*
Friends say time will make me stronger,
But the nights still pull me down.
Every laugh is just a cover,
For the cracks beneath the sound.
You became my favourite habit,
Now withdrawal owns my skin.
I'm still fighting all your ghosts...
But they always seem to win.
---
**[Breakdown Build]** *(layered harmonies, rising guitars)*
I gave you every broken piece...
You left before they fit.
---
**[Breakdown]** *(screamed vocals)*
YOU TORE THE HEART FROM MY CHEST!
LEFT ME BREATHING—BUT I'M NOT ALIVE!
EVERY SCAR SPELLS OUT YOUR NAME!
EVERY PRAYER DIES THE SAME!
HOW DO I BURY A LOVE...
THAT STILL LIVES INSIDE MY VEINS?!
---
**[Bridge]** *(drops to atmospheric R&B-inspired vocal)*
Maybe one day I'll forget your face...
Maybe these walls won't whisper your name.
Maybe the sunrise won't hurt this much...
But tonight...
I'm still yours.
---
**[Final Chorus]** *(bigger, layered harmonies with heavy guitars)*
I'm screaming into empty rooms,
Watching every light fade under.
If heaven heard the things I've hidden,
Would it leave me here to suffer?
If love survives, then why am I
Still drowning in yesterday?
You left me breathing...
But you took the part of me
That wanted to stay.
---
**[Outro]** *(clean vocal fading into ambience)*
The room is quiet...
But somehow...
It still sounds like you.
