[Verse 1 – smooth R&B, late-night UK garage swing]
I keep tracing all the shadow lines between us,
like your name is written somewhere in the dark.
You moved through my life like a quick red flash,
a spark in a room that forgot how to breathe.
Every memory hits like a bassline,
soft at first, then shaking the walls I built.
I’m holding on to echoes I shouldn’t keep,
but they keep calling me back like smoke.
Nights get longer when you’re gone,
colours draining out until everything’s grey.
I try to distract myself with neon noise,
but the quiet keeps spelling out your face.

[Pre-Chorus – airy trance vocals with reverb]
I swear I feel you in the spaces
between the words I never said.
If distance is a kind of rhythm,
then my heart’s been dancing wrong again.
Tell me why losing you feels louder
than ever loving you did.
---
[Chorus – UKG drop, layered emotional vocals]
Shadow lines between us,
but I still step right into them.
Every time I think I’m healing,
your ghost pulls me back again.
I’m running through these feelings
like a city full of empty lights,
but every turn leads back to you—
the one thing I can’t outrun tonight.
Shadow lines between us,
cuts as soft as a whisper, sharp as a scream.
I keep reaching through the silence
for a future that won’t let me dream.

[Verse 2 – hip-hop melodic flow, warm subs]
Tried deleting every moment,
but my phone still feels like it’s waiting for you.
Your name is a bruise under the skin of my day,
shows up every time the light hits wrong.
I’ve been walking these streets like a half-finished thought,
dodging the places where we used to breathe.
Even the music hits different now—
beats sound hollow when your rhythm’s missing.
Maybe we broke too early,
or maybe we were burning too bright.
But I swear I’d cross the whole damn skyline
just to feel your heartbeat once tonight.
---
[Pre-Chorus 2 – trance buildup, echo harmonies]
I’m slipping into old emotions
like they’re clothes that don’t fit right.
Still I wear them anyway,
hoping you’ll see me in a different light.
---
[Chorus – UKG drop, bigger and brighter]
Shadow lines between us,
but I keep stepping into them.
Every song reminds me of you—
every night, the same old rhythm.
I’m running through these feelings,
dodging ghosts that know my name,
but you’re the one I still run back to,
the fire I can’t outrun or tame.
---
[Bridge – spoken-word + airy pads]
If I could fold the night in half
I’d slip through the crease
and meet you somewhere in the middle—
not as strangers,
not as mistakes,
but as two people learning how to breathe again
without breaking.
---
[Final Chorus – explosive UKG/Trance hybrid]
Shadow lines between us,
but maybe they’re maps in disguise.
Maybe every step I’ve taken
was just me learning not to hide.
If loving you hurt like fire,
then losing you burns like ice—
but I’ll keep walking through these shadows
until the light hits right.
