Ghosted

⸻

GHOSTED

Key: D minor

Tempo: ~70 BPM

Core Instruments: 🎹 Piano (emotional anchor) • 🎻 Violin (voice of longing)

Support: Soft pad • very light sub (felt, not heard)

⸻

Intro (4–6 bars)

🎹 Piano solo

• Slow, spaced chords

• Let the sustain ring into silence

🎻 Violin enters softly on bar 3

• Long, breath-like notes

• Almost answering the piano, never leading

⸻

Verse 1

🎹 Piano continues, minimal

Left me on read

Alone, I see my reflection instead

The room feels loud without a sound

Every word I didn’t say still hangs around

🎻 Violin slides between lines — emotional punctuation

Once again you eluded me

Right when I leaned in close

I stayed with what we almost were

You disappeared like a ghost

⸻

Pre-Chorus

🎹 Piano drops to single notes

🎻 Violin rises slightly

How long am I supposed to wait

Since you vanished out of view

I keep listening for your footsteps

Like you might still come through

⸻

Chorus

🎹 Piano full chords return

🎻 Violin melody-led here (this is where it shines)

You ghosted me

Left me standing in the light

Talking to your silence

Every single night

You ghosted me

But you’re still everywhere

In the quiet of my breathing

In the hope I shouldn’t spare

⸻

Verse 2

🎹 Piano softer, almost hesitant

🎻 Violin tremble, restrained vibrato

Typing… then nothing

That pause cuts deeper than truth

I tell myself I’m done believing

But I still check — just in case it’s you

⸻

Final Chorus (stripped)

🎹 Piano only at first

🎻 Violin joins halfway, higher register

How long am I supposed to wait

Since you vanished without a sound

I’m holding space for someone

Who already left the room

⸻

Outro

🎻 Violin solo — slow, unresolved

🎹 Piano ends on an open chord

No closure. No resolve.
