[Style: Indie Acoustic × Ambient Pop]
[Tempo: ~74 BPM]
[Key: G Major → Em feel]
[Mood: Reflective, bittersweet, hopeful]
[Intro (acoustic + ambient pad)]
[(soft room tone… guitar starts quietly)]
Yeah…
This one’s for every version of me
[Verse 1]
I said goodbye before…
But I was saying goodbye to fear
Moving on from everything
That almost kept me here
Different now than from the start
Still got my heart on my sleeve
Trying to learn to live each day
And finally breathe
I miss the old me sometimes
But we’re home again somehow
Shout out all I’ve been through
It all led me here now
[Pre-Chorus]
Every song became a piece of me
Even when nobody could see
[Chorus]
I wrote another life with you
While fighting ghosts out in the woods
Trying to find some kind of peace
The best way that I could
Some nights I thought nobody cared
About that cabin or about me
But those were just the thoughts I had
When I couldn’t really see
How far I’ve come…
How far I’ve been
[Verse 2]
Maybe I stop writing for a while
Focus on the future now
Focus on the people in my life
Who still hold me down
Focus on the little things
That really mean the most
Like loving her the right way
Instead of living like a ghost
I spent so long inside my head
Turning pain into melodies
Now I think it’s time I learn
Who I am outside these beats
[Pre-Chorus]
Doesn’t mean the story ends
Just means I’m learning how to live again
[Chorus]
I wrote another life with you
While fighting ghosts out in the woods
Trying to find some kind of peace
The best way that I could
Some nights I thought nobody cared
About that cabin or about me
But those were just the thoughts I had
When I couldn’t really see
How far I’ve come…
How far I’ve been
[Bridge (stripped, emotional)]
[(drums gone, just acoustic + soft steel)]
This isn’t my suicide note…
This isn’t my last request…
I’ll be back eventually…
Hopefully this time less of a mess
[Final Chorus (hopeful lift)]
I said goodbye before
But maybe now I understand
Sometimes walking away awhile
Is part of becoming who I am
And every song I wrote before
Still lives somewhere inside of me
Even if I go quiet now…
That’s not the end of me
[Outro (soft steel fade)]
[(steel bends warmly)]
I’ll be back eventually…
Goodbye…
