Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – soft ambient guitar] (low electric, spacey keys) (lead vocal – low, calm) We weren’t supposed to end up here again… ⸻ [Verse 1] (groove slowly builds) Ran into you, didn’t expect it Felt like time just stepped aside Same laugh, same way you look at me Like nothing ever really died Started easy, just conversation Then it turned into more than that From a “how you been?” to late night talking Like we never lost what we had ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] (slight lift) You were leaning in Then pulling away Like something inside you Was telling you not to stay ⸻ [Chorus — main hook] (full but controlled) You’re still there I can feel it when you look at me Still there In the space where we used to be We got close Then you disappeared But you didn’t go You just moved me from near You’re still there… Just not right here ⸻ [Verse 2] (groove continues) You don’t cut me off completely You just changed the way we talk Took me off where it felt real But left the door unlocked I can see what you’re doing Yeah, I get why you would Got a life that you’re protecting And I never said you should ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] You ain’t trying to hurt me You’re just trying to choose Between what you feel And what you can’t lose ⸻ [Chorus] You’re still there I can feel it when you look at me Still there In the space where we used to be We got close Then you disappeared But you didn’t go You just moved me from near You’re still there… Just not right here ⸻ [Bridge — stripped] (keys + guitar only) I’m not chasing I’m not pushing But I ain’t pretending I don’t see it If you ever decide To stop holding it back You know where I’m at ⸻ [Final Chorus — lift] (full band, emotional but controlled) You’re still there I can feel it when you look at me Still there In the space where we used to be We got close Then you disappeared But you didn’t go You just made it unclear You’re still there… Just not right here ⸻ [Outro] (instrumental fade)
