(~85–90 BPM, Soul/Synth-Ballade) [Intro – whispered / AdLibs]
(Mm…)
You know I never left, right?
I just tried to breathe…
But breathing without you still hurts.
(Still hurts, yeah…)
⸻
[Verse 1]
You said you needed space, so I built you a sky,
Watched you fade into the clouds, never asked why.
You chase new faces just to feel alive,
but I stayed where your shadow survived.
(Still stayed… I stayed…)
Every word you never send,
cuts deeper than you intend.
I read between the lines again,
your silence screams louder than the pain.
(Ooh-ooh…)
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t hate you,
but I bleed where I love you.
You said I’m too pure for your pain,
so you drown me in your rain.
(Yeah, drown me in your rain…)
⸻
[Chorus 1]
I’m fading in your silence (oh-oh),
losing faith in what was ours (yeah).
You said I made you feel alive,
but you buried me just to survive.
(Ooh, survive… survive…)
⸻
[Verse 2]
You told me not to wait,
but my heart don’t understand fate.
You keep your demons close at night,
while I’m the ghost beneath your light.
(Mm-mm, your light…)
You said I was your calm, your peace,
but baby, you don’t wanna heal with me.
You run from love like it’s a crime,
but I still chase the edge of time.
(Still chase… still chase…)
⸻
[Bridge – Soul AdLibs / Layered Vocals]
Maybe love was never fair (never fair),
maybe pain’s the only prayer (only prayer).
You said you’d never go,
but your silence tells me no.
(Yeah-yeah, tells me no…)
[Breakdown – half-tempo, whisper-tone]
And I gave you my first light,
my first touch, my first night.
You said you didn’t deserve it,
but baby, you earned every line.
(Earned every line, yeah…)
⸻
[Chorus 2 – full soul-vocal]
I’m fading in your silence (fade slow…),
every “read” feels like goodbye (goodbye…).
You said I made you feel alive,
but you left me bleeding inside.
(Inside, inside…)
⸻
[Outro – echoing adlibs / whispered soul fade]
If this is grace, I’ll fade slow… (fade slow…)
I’ll let you go, even though…
My heart still calls your name in stereo.
(Stereo… stereo…)
Still stay… (still stay…)
Yeah, I still stay… (still stay…)
