[Intro – soft acoustic plucks, ambient rain sounds]
Isn’t it funny how they claim to know me
When I barely recognize my own reflection lately?
They write my story in their heads
But I’ve rewritten it in ink they’ll never read.
⸻
[Verse 1 – soft vocals, piano + faint heartbeat rhythm]
I wish for the rain whenever you go
Trace your ghost through streets I used to know
Cobblestones echo a time we had
Now I’m a shadow fading into the aftermath
You always swore I’d break alone
But darling, I was born from storms and stone
The sky might fall, the night might drown
But I learned how to wear a thundercloud like a crown
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – building with strings and layered vocals]
You laid your doubt where I laid my dreams
Built a house of lies, I tore at the seams
You see ruins—I see rebirth
You left the ashes, but I found the earth
⸻
[Chorus – soaring, bittersweet]
I’m nothing but free
Even with tears in my eyes, I see
You chained me in silence, but I broke the key
The rain falls harder, but it answers me
It knows, oh it knows
When I cry, the rain knows why
⸻
[Verse 2 – lo-fi beat layered with fingerstyle guitar]
You moved on, kissed her like I never mattered
While I folded love letters you left shattered
But I’m not the ghost that haunts this song
You’re the echo wondering where you went wrong
Under flickering streetlights I walk alone
But I don’t beg, I’ve made this pain my own
No more graves for what I’ve lost
I wear my sorrow like it’s gold-stitched cloth
⸻
[Bridge – stripped back, echo vocals with soft thunder]
All that doubt you gave, I let it rot
Pressed “ignore” and climbed from every thought
The rain still falls, but now it’s mine
It sings my name in every line
⸻
[Final Chorus – cinematic crescendo, layered harmonies]
I’m nothing but free
No apologies, no “please come back” pleas
You played the fool, and I played the rain
Now I dance in it, unfazed by the pain
And it knows… oh it knows
When I cry… the rain still knows why
⸻
[Outro – fading ambient rain, soft humming]
Nothing but free…
I walk through the storm and let it baptize me
You ran for shelter—
I became the sky.
