[Intro – Soft humming over distant piano]
I used to hear a simple song…
Now all I hear is what’s gone wrong
Where once was light, now shadows bloom
I hum your name in an empty room
⸻
[Verse 1 – Gentle, like a lullaby]
Here in the garden, I learned to wait
While petals fell and sealed my fate
You came with colors I’d never seen
But colors fade in evergreen
You smiled once, that’s what I kept
In a corner of my chest
But days grew long, and you grew far
I watched you drift into the stars
⸻
[Chorus – Dreamy and bittersweet]
And now I play our symphony
Built from all you took from me
You turned my simple melody
Into echoes haunting every key
You left your song inside my bones
And now I sing it all alone
Not quite a lullaby, not quite a scream—
Just you and me in a half-waked dream
⸻
[Verse 2 – Quiet and slow, like a confession]
Counting the seconds, sky turning grey
Years pass by, you slipped away
I stayed still, while you turned the page
Writing new stories, leaving me in the cage
You were my harmony, soft and true
But I was background noise to you
Still I smiled and stayed and played
Hoping someday you might stay
⸻
[Bridge – Layered harmonies, rising emotion]
Isn’t it lovely? Isn’t it cruel?
To teach a heart and break the rule
You found your friends, your ending bright
While I disappear each night
They say you lived, they say you shined
But forgot the roots you left behind
You turned your back, forgot my face
But I still sing in your old place
⸻
[Final Chorus – Slower, emotional crescendo]
You took my broken melody
And left a ghost of symphony
Not quite a lullaby, not quite goodbye
Just a note you let slip by
I still hum it under moonlight
While you dance in someone else’s light
Our flaws were music, sweet and deep
But now you’re gone, and I can’t sleep
⸻
[Outro – Whispers over fading piano]
Happily waiting,
Quietly fading,
Drifting like the final song…
That no one hears
But sings along.
