Dear Tomorrow

SHIMMER
Verse 1
I watch you shimmer in the distance
Like city lights through tears
We said we’d never end like this
But here we are, my dear
Your shadow’s hanging on the ceiling
Your perfume on my clothes
I try to tell myself you’re gone
But my body still knows
Pre-Chorus
We flew too close to something holy
Too bright to let it last
Now I’m standing in the silence
Listening to the past
Chorus (Tight. Heavy. Honest.)
Where are you now
When the night falls slow?
I’m holding on to pieces
You already let go
You took the sun with you
Left me with the cold
And I don’t know who I am
Without you to hold
Where are you now?
Verse 2
I hear your voice in every hallway
In every crowded room
I tell myself I’m getting stronger
But I still break in two
You said forever felt like drowning
Like love was just too deep
But I would’ve learned to swim for you
Instead you let me sink
Pre-Chorus
We called it love, we called it fire
We called it meant to be
Now all I have are echoes
And what you did to me
Chorus (Stronger, layered vocals)
Where are you now
When the night falls slow?
I’m holding on to pieces
You already let go
You took the sun with you
Left me with the cold
And I don’t know who I am
Without you to hold
Where are you now?
Bridge (Isaiah depth, almost prayer-like)
Did we mistake the feeling
For something heaven-sent?
Was I loving who you were
Or who I thought you meant?
If this is how it’s written
Why does it hurt like sin?
Final Chorus (Adele-level emotional release)
Where are you now
When the night falls slow?
I’m still here in the ruins
Of everything we know
You took the sun with you
Now the sky won’t glow
And I don’t know who I am
If I let you go
Where are you now?
Where are you now
