[Intro – soft piano arpeggios, faint cello hum]

[Intro – soft piano arpeggios, faint cello hum] The couch still holds your faded shirt Your coffee mug sits where it hurt [Verse 1 – delicate piano, quiet brush drums] I wake up reaching for your hand Empty sheets feel like sinking sand I walk the streets where we used to laugh Every step feels like broken glass [Pre-Chorus – building string layers, soft bass] I paint on a smile for the world to see But inside I’m drowning, can’t you see? I’ve fought the dark that’s pulled me down But my strength is fading, I’m losing ground [Chorus – full piano and strings, raw vocals] I almost let the night take me away Left with nothing but yesterday I’m fighting the will to keep going on Putting on a face when my heart is gone But now I surrender, I let it go I’ll let your love guide me home [Verse 2 – piano with subtle synth pad, light shaker] I still hear your voice in the morning calm Still trace the lines where your palm met my arm I’ve tried to fill the hole you left But every quiet moment feels like theft [Pre-Chorus – swelling strings, gentle snare roll] I laugh at the jokes, I nod and agree But I’m just a ghost of who I used to be I’ve clung to the edge for far too long I’m tired of pretending I’m strong [Chorus – layered vocals, soaring cello] I almost let the dark swallow me whole Lost in the empty, lost in the cold I’m fighting the urge to just give in Hiding the cracks where my heart wears thin But now I surrender, I let it flow I’ll let your love help me grow [Interlude – piano solo, soft string accompaniment] (Instrumental Solo) [Bridge – sparse piano, intimate vocals] I know you’d want me to keep breathing To keep your memory from fading I’ll carry your love in every beat Let it be the light beneath my feet [Final Chorus – full orchestration, powerful vocals] I won’t let the night take me away I’ll hold onto the love we made I’m finding the will to keep going on Learning to heal where my heart was torn Now I surrender, I let it shine I’ll let your love be my sign [Outro – fading piano, faint string fade] I’m finally starting to breathe again Your love will always be my friend
