[Verse 1]
Silhouettes in morning rain,
Whispers in a photo frame.
Names I say but can’t reclaim,
Gone like smoke, but still remain.
Dinner chairs with no one near,
Laughter fading year by year.
Ghosts of hands I used to hold,
Now just echoes, distant, cold.
⸻
[Chorus]
In the silence, I replay
Every smile that slipped away.
Love, it lingers, love, it leaves,
Woven through the air I breathe.
Dancing in the dark with grief,
You were my song, my soul’s belief.
Now I move, but not complete,
Among the shadows we still keep.
⸻
[Instrumental Drop]
(Deep synth swell, ambient textures, heartbeat-like bass pulse)
(~30 seconds – steady beat fades in, soft vocal chops whisper beneath pads)
⸻
[Verse 2]
Streetlights blur with tear-stained glass,
Time’s a thief that moves too fast.
Friends turned strangers, names erased,
All the warmth I can’t replace.
The quiet hits the hardest part,
An empty bed, a broken heart.
I light a flame, I close my eyes,
And see your face in starless skies.
⸻
[Chorus]
In the silence, I replay
Every smile that slipped away.
Love, it lingers, love, it leaves,
Woven through the air I breathe.
Dancing in the dark with grief,
You were my song, my soul’s belief.
Now I move, but not complete,
Among the shadows we still keep.
⸻
[Ambient Verse – Extended Emotional Bridge]
The clock still ticks, but time feels still,
Like walking through a dream uphill.
I reach for names I used to call,
But silence answers through it all.
Some nights I think I see your face,
Reflected in a window’s grace.
But it’s just shadows playing tricks—
The kind that memory always picks.
⸻
[Extended Instrumental Bridge – ~40 sec]
(Layered ambient textures build slowly — ghostly vocal samples: “I remember…” echoing like wind)
(Soft piano or strings swell underneath, kick drum pulses like a heartbeat — rising energy without rushing)
⸻
[Spoken Bridge – over fading instrumental texture]
Maybe we don’t lose them…
Maybe they just wait,
In every note,
In every break.
In the space between beats…
They’re still here.
⸻
[Final Chorus]
In the silence, I replay
Every smile that slipped away.
Love, it lingers, love, it leaves,
Woven through the air I breathe.
Dancing in the dark with grief,
You were my song, my soul’s belief.
Now I move, but not complete,
Among the shadows we still keep.
