Verse 1 (UK cadence, raw & confessional)
Been starin’ at the ceilin’, cracks like broken veins,
Every memory bleedin’, still whisperin’ your name.
You said we’d last forever, but forever walked away,
Now I’m drownin’ in the silence, with the things I didn’t say.
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I swear I’d trade the world, just to feel your hand in mine,
But love don’t wait for beggars, it just leaves ’em all behind.
⸻
Chorus (Soaring, heartbreak pop anthem)
So won’t you hold me when the night gets colder,
Tell me, love, that it ain’t really over.
I’m drownin’ in the echo of goodbye,
Can’t learn to live when I’m half alive.
Gave you all my heart, you tore it apart,
Now I’m fallin’, fallin’… back to the dark.
⸻
Verse 2 (UK cadence, conversational phrasing)
I still hear your laughter floatin’ through the crowd,
Every quiet moment, love, it screams too loud.
I trace your name on windows when the frost sets in,
But it fades like every promise, every could-have-been.
⸻
Pre-Chorus
If love was meant to heal, why’s it burnin’ me inside?
I’d give it all again, just to hold you one more night.
⸻
Chorus (Repeat, Bigger)
So won’t you hold me when the night gets colder,
Tell me, love, that it ain’t really over.
I’m drownin’ in the echo of goodbye,
Can’t learn to live when I’m half alive.
Gave you all my heart, you tore it apart,
Now I’m fallin’, fallin’… back to the dark.
⸻
Bridge (Whispered, almost spoken in accent)
And I whisper your name, like a prayer in the night,
But heaven stays quiet, and it don’t feel right.
⸻
Final Chorus (Explosive, then fading)
So won’t you hold me when the night gets colder,
Tell me, love, that it ain’t really over.
I’m drownin’ in the echo of goodbye,
Can’t learn to live when I’m half alive.
Gave you all my heart, you tore it apart,
Now I’m fallin’, fallin’… back to the dark.
Outro (UK cadence, broken voice, fading like radio static):
Fallin’… fallin’… back to the dark…
