Verse 1 (fragile, breaking voice uk accent)
I can’t— (pauses, breath catching) … I can’t even say your name right now,
Feels like glass in my throat, but I’ll try somehow.
Last week you were here, now the chair sits bare,
And I swear I see your shadow every time I stare.
I choke on the words, they don’t come clean,
Every syllable breaks like a ripped-up dream.
I speak in a rush just to hide the tears,
But the sound of my voice only shows my fears.

Verse 2 (UK cadence, semi-fast, but trembling)
You said “don’t wait for me” but I can’t let go,
Every crack in the night, every street I know.
Your laugh’s still carved in the bricks of this town,
But the silence screams louder when the lights die down.
High notes crack when I breathe your song,
I’ve been tryin’ to move but the road feels wrong.
And I’m spillin’ out lines like a boy deranged,
But the hurt don’t heal when the scene’s unchanged.
⸻
Verse 3 (emotional outro flow – almost crying)
I’m not singin’ for pity, I’m not beggin’ for more,
I’m just spillin’ out a heart that’s raw and sore.
Your friends asked me why I still hold your ghost,
Said I’m writin’ these lines ‘cause it’s all I know.
And the tears slip fast when the words cut deep,
I’m half-awake, I’m scared to sleep.
I reach for a note but my voice just breaks,
Like the sky in a storm when the daylight shakes.
⸻
Outro (soft, fading, cracking voice)
So I’ll whisper this song like a prayer in the rain,
Half-cry, half-sing just to call your name.
And if you never hear it, if you never reply,
Just know I loved you till the day I… (voice trails off).
