[Intro – soft piano arpeggios, faint cello hum]

[Intro – soft piano arpeggios, faint cello hum] Street lamp glow on empty concrete Your old text still sits unread on me [Verse 1 – piano-led, quiet drum shuffle] I asked you out three times last fall You said you weren’t ready for one call Told me you liked the space we had But I waited for the day you’d see what you had [Pre-Chorus 1 – building string layers, subtle bassline] I dated others, tried to move on But every laugh felt like a borrowed song You’d text me late when you got drunk Said I was the one who always stuck [Chorus 1 – full piano and strings, heartfelt vocals] You only saw the fire when the house burned down You only reached for me when your world hit the ground Locked up alone, you finally knew All the love you threw away was mine to lose [Verse 2 – piano with light guitar strums, steady beat] I met someone who held my hand Who didn’t leave me waiting in the sand You called me up, said you were scared Said you messed up, said you cared [Pre-Chorus 2 – swelled strings, stronger drum pulse] I told you I was happy, told you I was fine But my voice shook when I said goodbye You said you’d change, you’d do it right But I’d heard those words a thousand nights [Chorus 2 – layered vocals, intensified strings] You only saw the fire when the house burned down You only reached for me when your world hit the ground Locked up alone, you finally knew All the love you threw away was mine to lose [Bridge – stripped back piano only, vulnerable vocals] I sat by the phone when they locked you up Wondered if you’d ever wake up I still cared, but I couldn’t stay I had to let the old me fade away [Solo – weeping violin melody, soft piano accompaniment] (Instrumental Solo) [Final Chorus – full orchestral arrangement, powerful vocals] You only saw the fire when the house burned down You only reached for me when your world hit the ground Locked up alone, you finally knew All the love you threw away was mine to lose Now I’m gone, and you’re left to face The empty space you put in place [Outro – fading piano, faint cello fade-out] Your call went to voicemail tonight I turned off the phone, turned out the light
