Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You laughed like I was far away I held your coat You held his gaze Champagne glass shaking in my hand All these strangers But I’m the ghost in the room [Pre-Chorus] You touch his arm Just a little too long You brush your hair Like a slow love song Every move says everything you won’t say And I can’t look But I can’t walk away [Chorus] I saw that sparkle in your eye but it wasn’t for me Like a movie I paid for Where I’m cut from the scene Standing in the doorway Watching our vows come undone I saw that sparkle in your eye And it burned like the sun [Verse 2] You tilt your head That secret smile The one you used to save for midnight drives He leans in close to hear you speak I hear every word in the way you breathe [Pre-Chorus] You take his hand through the crowded glow You lose my ring in the undertow Every laugh is a line through our name And I taste my pride like cheap red stain [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] So I straighten my tie Practice goodbye In the bathroom mirror Fluorescent truth [soft strings rise] How do I leave What we believed When you’ve already walked out of the room [Chorus]

Slow cinematic build starting with sparse piano and intimate male vocals, then swelling strings and distant toms entering each chorus. First verse nearly acapella with close, breathy delivery; chorus opens with wider reverb and layered low harmonies. Final section adds soaring string countermelodies and a subtle pulse underneath, keeping it raw and unpolished so the vocal cracks and breaths stay front and center., deep, male vocals, slow, raw
