Half Of Me Still Stays

(Verse 1 – soft, breathy male vocal)

City’s sleeping, but my pulse won’t rest,

You said you’d stay, now you’re just a silhouette.

I trace your name in the fog of my mind,

Love was a song stuck on one perfect line.

(Pre-Chorus – hush echoes)

And I’m running through shadows,

Chasing thoughts that slip and hide,

Your memory’s still glowing

In the corners of the night.

(Chorus – gentle lift, dreamy synth pads)

Don’t leave me drifting past your light,

I keep reaching out, but you’re out of sight.

Your warmth still lingers on the edge of mine,

I’m half here, half lost in our old design.

(Verse 2 – darker, lo-fi haze)

Spilled time in another dawn,

Every quiet moment asks where we went wrong.

You whispered, “It’s better this way,” that thin old line—

But the silence afterward cuts sharper every time.

(Pre-Chorus – bittersweet echo)

And I keep seeing glimmers

Of us in another life,

If love was forever,

Why’d you sever the tie?

(Chorus – deeper, softer grit)

Don’t leave me drifting past your light,

I keep reaching out, but you’re out of sight.

Your warmth still lingers on the edge of mine,

I’m half here, half lost in our old design.

(Bridge – fragile falsetto layers)

Maybe we were only meant to fade,

Two sparks caught in a tidal wave.

But I’d fall again if it felt like you—

Even knowing none of it was true.

(Final Chorus – hollow, echoing)

Don’t leave me drifting past your light,

Your name still breaks when it hits my mind.

I’ll keep your love where the darkness hides,

‘Cause I’m half here, half gone…

Half yours tonight.
