Verse 1
I’ve been walkin’ down these empty streets,
Cold wind blowin’, cuts me deep.
Every echo calls your name,
But the silence don’t sound the same.
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I try to hide it, but it shows,
Every scar, everybody knows.
Still I’m standin’, still I pray,
That you’ll come back to me one day.
⸻
Chorus (soaring, accent really stands out on long vowels)
Ooooh, I’m faaaallin’, can you heeear me?
Lo-o-ost in the night, but I’m still breaaathin’…
Ooooh, I’m caaallin’, hope you’ll neeeaaar me,
Don’t fade awaaay, you’re the reeeason I’m still dreeeamin’.
Mmm-mmm-mmm… Ooooh-oooh…
Mmm-mmm-mmm… Ooooh-oooh…
⸻
Verse 2
Skyline’s painted black and blue,
Every colour reminds me of you.
I chase the shadow, but it slips away,
Still I’m waitin’ for the break of day.
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I light a flame, but it burns too fast,
Holdin’ on to a love that passed.
Still I’m reachin’, still I say,
One more night, don’t walk away.
⸻
Chorus (soaring, layered)
Ooooh, I’m faaaallin’, can you heeear me?
Lo-o-ost in the night, but I’m still breaaathin’…
Ooooh, I’m caaallin’, hope you’ll neeeaaar me,
Don’t fade awaaay, you’re the reeeason I’m still dreeeamin’.
Mmm-mmm-mmm… Ooooh-oooh…
Mmm-mmm-mmm… Ooooh-oooh…
⸻
Bridge (anthemic lift)
Can you feeeel it? Can you seeee it?
Every heartbeat, I still bleeeeed it…
Can you feeeel it? Can you knooow…
I won’t let go… I won’t let go…
⸻
Final Chorus (bigger, accent carried on vowels)
Ooooh, I’m faaaallin’, can you heeear me?
Lo-o-ost in the night, but I’m still breaaathin’…
Ooooh, I’m caaallin’, hope you’ll neeeaaar me,
Don’t fade awaaay, you’re the reeeason I’m still dreeeamin’.
Mmm-mmm-mmm… Ooooh-oooh…
Mmm-mmm-mmm… Ooooh-oooh…
