[QUIET MALE INTRO – soft, cracked voice]
Where did I lose you…
Was it something I said…
Or just something I never became…
[SOFT FEMALE VOICE – distant, almost breaking]
“I don’t hate you…”
“I just… don’t feel the same anymore”
“I need space… please…”
[PIANO ENTERS]

[VERSE 1]
What do I say now
What do I even do
I’m talking to memories instead of you
Your laugh’s still stuck in my head
Echoing words that you said
Like nothing we had ever meant to end
We used to stay up all night
Laughing ‘til morning light
Now I’m just staring at your empty side
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS]
You faded slowly
But I didn’t see
Now I’m alone with what we used to be
⸻
[CHORUS – FULL EMOTION]
Where did I go wrong
When did your eyes lose the light
When did your love turn to goodbye
Why did you walk away
Without a word to explain
Why am I here in the silence you made
Why did you leave me frozen and broken
Still holding on to the things left unspoken
⸻
[VERSE 2 – MORE PERSONAL]
Your sweater’s still on my chair
Like you’re somehow still there
But it don’t smell like you anymore
Pictures we never erased
Now just ghosts on a page
Of a life that don’t exist anymore
You said forever so easily
Now forever’s just haunting me
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS]
You slipped through my hands
Like I was nothing at all
Now I’m the one left here to fall
⸻
[CHORUS – STRONGER DELIVERY]
Where did I go wrong
When did your heart change its mind
When did I fall this far behind
Why did you walk away
Like I was easy to replace
Why am I lost in the love we erased
Why did you leave me frozen and broken
Drowning in words that were never spoken
⸻
[AGGRESSIVE VERSE – RAW EMOTION]
You tore through me like a blade in the dark
Left me bleeding pieces of my heart
Said you loved me, then let me decay
Watched me break and just walked away
I gave you everything I had
Every good inside the bad
And you still chose to let me drown
⸻
[GENTLE PRE-CHORUS – RESIGNED]
I know now I wasn’t enough
But I swear I gave you all my love
And still you let me go
⸻
[FINAL CHORUS – BIGGEST, MOST BROKEN]
Where did I go wrong
Or was I wrong all along
Loving you this much for this long
Why did you walk away
Why couldn’t you just stay
Why am I here while you’re okay
Why did you leave me frozen and broken
Still hearing “I love you” you never meant
⸻
[OUTRO – STRIPPED DOWN]
[SOFT GUITAR + PIANO]
When did the love fade away…
Or did it ever stay…
[FEMALE VOICE – QUIET, REGRETFUL]
“I tried…”
“I really did…”
“But it’s not the same anymore…”
[MALE – WHISPER]
“Yeah… I know…”
[FADE OUT]
