Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Found my name On a folded note In my own handwriting I don't remember writing Sink to the floor In yesterday's clothes Phone on the table Vibrating in the dark [Chorus] I'm standing on the edge of the balcony Looking down at everything that’s breaking me Thinking maybe I could finally fall asleep If I just lean a little further I'm standing on the edge of the balcony Trading every heartbeat for an empty street But a voice in me is begging, quietly Please don’t let go Please don’t let go of me [Verse 2] Dirty cups On the kitchen sink Cancel every plan Say I’m just too tired Scroll through names I could maybe call Type out “I’m not okay” Delete it all again [Chorus] I'm standing on the edge of the balcony Looking down at everything that’s breaking me Thinking maybe I could finally fall asleep If I just lean a little further I'm standing on the edge of the balcony Trading every heartbeat for an empty street But a voice in me is begging, quietly Please don’t let go Please don’t let go of me [Bridge] If I disappear Would it matter here Would the silence in my room Sound just the same So I count to ten Then I count again Hold the railing like a hand Saying my name (stay) [Chorus] Still standing on the edge of the balcony Looking down at everything that’s breaking me But I whisper I am not a tragedy I can breathe one second longer Still standing on the edge of the balcony Let the night wind carry out the worst of me And that voice inside grows louder, finally Please don’t let go Please don’t let go of me Please don’t let go I won’t let go of me

pop, Sparse, close-miked piano ballad in a slow 4/4; male vocals start almost whisper-quiet, sitting right on the keys. Verse 1 is intimate and dry, just vocal and piano, with subtle room reverb. Chorus widens gently with soft pad swells and a warm, distant sub-bass, plus a single harmony line on the hook. Second verse brings in faint rhythmic pulses and reversed piano textures for tension. Bridge strips back to almost solo vocal for a raw moment, then final chorus blooms with layered harmonies and a slightly higher register, ending on a lingering unresolved chord that fades into silence., sad
