⸻
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.
