[Intro – Soft ambient synth, gentle piano echoing like distant water]
Now and then… I forget I’m still here…
And the storm keeps whispering your name.
⸻
[Verse 1 – Delicate, ghostlike delivery]
Now and then
The world outside can be so loud
The soft ache of seasons passed
Lingers in the clouds
Loneliness
Is the shadow in my skin
I wear it like a second breath
It always settles in
⸻
[Verse 2 – Transition into darker melody]
And you don’t seem to understand
How I bled from holding hands
All the truths I never spoke
Now curl around my throat
I am falling, I am fading
Calling through the static grey
Do you hear me anymore?
Do you see me slip away?
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Lightly layered harmonies, echoing pain]
I would forget myself for love
For light upon the water
But the moon won’t come
And the tides pull harder
⸻
[Chorus – Haunting and bittersweet]
Help me to breathe, I’m drowning slow
These waves of silence pull below
I am hurting, I have lost it all
Still pretending I don’t fall
Help me to breathe when I forget
All your echoes in my chest
Now and then, I fade like dust
Still dreaming you’ll come back to us
⸻
[Verse 3 – Softer, almost spoken]
You said you meant no harm
But the ghosts are in your arms
Candlelit smiles now dim
In the room where we begin
And happiness—
It turns its face
Each time I try to trace its grace
You’re gone, and I’m an owl by day
Staring through a sky of grey
⸻
[Bridge – Ambient swell with harmonized whispers]
I’m not trying to haunt your sleep
But the storm still sings in me
And all I want is just to feel
But my hands don’t touch what’s real
⸻
[Final Chorus – Fading, broken, layered vocals]
Help me to breathe, I’m drowning slow
Still wear your name beneath my bones
I am hurting, I have lost it all
Now and then, I still recall
The light you were, the warmth we made
Before your silence stripped it all away
Now and then… I fade again
Still dreaming in the end…
⸻
[Outro – Eerie soft piano, distant waves, whispered final line]
I forget myself… now and then…
