Verse 1
(Genre: Dark Pop / Cinematic Alt • BPM: 72 • Key: A minor • Mood: fragile, haunted piano + distant reverb pads)
I used to be fire — wild, alive,
Now I’m the smoke that couldn’t survive.
He took my heart and broke it twice,
Carved out my soul, left it on ice.
The laughter I had is a ghost in my chest,
The sun doesn’t shine where he used to rest.
No tomorrows wait, no dreams to chase,
Just tear-stained pillows and an empty space.
Pre-Chorus
(Build: low bass swell, heartbeat percussion creeping in)
I hear my name but it don’t feel mine,
Like I got lost somewhere in time…
Chorus
(Genre Push: Dark Pop / Emotional Trap • BPM: 72 • Heavy 808s + airy vocals)
I gave him everything—every breath, every part,
He drained the color right out of my heart.
He fed on my love till there was nothing to take,
Now I’m just bones that bend but don’t break.
I’m hollow… I’m hollow…
Echoes where my soul used to go…
Still breathing, but I don’t feel whole,
Just a body with a missing soul.
Verse 2
(Drop instruments back: stripped piano + ambient echoes)
The mirror don’t know me, my eyes are dim,
The girl I was got lost in him.
No fight left inside, no spark, no sound,
Just ashes where faith once could be found.
I wander the nights with a ghost for a name,
Trying to feel, but it’s never the same.
My pulse still beats, but it’s not my own,
He took the rhythm, he took my home.
Pre-Chorus 2
(Add subtle strings, tension rising)
Every memory cuts like glass,
I keep bleeding from the past…
Chorus (Bigger)
(Full production: layered vocals, deeper bass, cinematic hits)
I gave him everything—every breath, every part,
He drained the color right out of my heart.
He fed on my love till there was nothing to take,
Now I’m just bones that bend but don’t break.
I’m hollow… I’m hollow…
Screaming but it don’t echo…
Still breathing, but I don’t feel whole,
Just a body with a missing soul.
Bridge
(Genre Shift: cinematic breakdown • piano + distant choir • tempo free-feel)
There’s no tomorrow—just hours that blur,
No happy ending written for her.
He left me hollow, a shell, a sigh,
A soulless girl too tired to cry.
But somewhere deep where the silence screams…
There’s a flicker buried in broken dreams…
Final Chorus (Haunting / Stripped + Build)
(Start soft, grow into full instrumental)
And if the stars should fall tonight,
Let them take what’s left of my fight.
For love stole my soul and left this scar—
A broken heart that remembers who you are.
I’m hollow… still I remain…
Dancing slow in the pouring rain…
Not alive, but not gone too far…
Just a ghost with a shattered heart…
Outro
(Minimal: piano + vinyl crackle fade)
I used to be fire…
Now I’m just smoke…
