Prompt / Lyrics
(Sparse piano, soft guitar. Barefoot gospel-blues feel. Voice: same warm, raw female alto.) Verse 1 The clock was loud in an empty room Walls whispered secrets I didn’t choose I thought I could hold it all inside But the river broke and I could not hide Verse 2 The world tilted, the air went thin My own mind turned against my skin Every fear I tried to ignore Came to the surface, demanding more Chorus The day everything broke I found the pieces I never spoke I fell apart, I fell through And the only hand that held me was You The day everything broke I learned I could not do it alone I learned to trust the quiet, the pain, the unknown Verse 3 Lights too bright, the voices too near The nights were long, the mornings unclear I wore my soul like a fragile thread And carried the weight of what I’d dread Pre-Chorus But even in the falling, even in the fear There was a whisper that said, “I am here” Chorus The day everything broke I found the pieces I never spoke I fell apart, I fell through And the only hand that held me was You The day everything broke I learned I could not do it alone I learned to trust the quiet, the pain, the unknown Bridge I don’t want to forget The lesson, the ache, the sweat How close I came to losing the light And how it returned with gentle might Final Chorus The day everything broke Was the day I began to heal The day everything broke Taught me what was real The day everything broke I learned to breathe, to stay, to see The day everything broke Became the day I found me (soft hum, gentle piano fades out)
