[Intro, Ambient synths, Soft falsetto echoes]
(Ahhh ahhh ahhh)
(Ahhh ahhh ahhh)
[Verse 1]
You said you loved me, but not like that
Not the kind that makes your heart collapse
You smiled like I was home, then walked away
Found someone safe, and chose to stay
[Pre-Chorus, Soft percussion, Emotional build]
And he's no better, not brighter than me
But you saw in him what you couldn't see
In all the words I bled for you
Guess it just wasn't mutual truth
[Chorus, Emotional burst, Layered harmonies]
You moved on, like it's just what hearts do
But I'm stuck here, living in the residue
I still dream you're calling me back
But you're gone, and I can't love like that
Afraid of the fall, afraid of the lack
Still think of you… every damn day, in fact
[Verse 2, Quiet piano, Gentle vocal delivery]
Every smile I meet now feels pretend
Like I'm cheating, like I'd break again
I trace your shadow in someone’s laugh
But it fades — you're not coming back
[Pre-Chorus, Subtle bass, Growing tension]
They say time will drag me through
But the clock stopped when I lost you
And I hate that you feel so far
While your ghost lives under my scars
[Chorus, Reprise, Stronger drums, Echoing backing vocals]
You moved on, like it's just what hearts do
But I'm stuck here, living in the residue
I still dream you're calling me back
But you're gone, and I can't love like that
Afraid of the fall, afraid of the lack
Still think of you… every damn day, in fact
[Bridge, Distorted synths, Emotional climax]
Maybe love's not something I deserve
Or maybe you just never felt the burn
But I’m tired of dancing with this pain
And calling it your name
[Chorus, Final, Stripped back then building to full arrangement]
You moved on, like it's just what hearts do
But I'm stuck here, living in the residue
Still think of you…
Still dream of you…
And I can't love… like I used to do
[Outro, Fading synths, Whispered falsetto]
(Ahhh ahhh ahhh)
(Ahhh ahhh ahhh)
Still stuck in the echo of you
