love and heartbreak

[Intro – soft piano arpeggios, faint rain ambience] Streetlamp glows on empty stone Your laugh still echoes in my home [Verse 1 – gentle acoustic guitar strums, quiet shaker] I still fold your hoodie on the chair Avoid the corner where we used to stare At the stars you said would guide us through Now they just remind me I lost you [Pre-Chorus – building string layers, soft kick drum] I keep reaching for your hand in the dark I keep hoping this is just a bad dream spark But the sheets are cold, the silence is loud I’m still stuck in the space you allowed [Chorus – full band, warm cello line, emotional vocals] Love tastes like coffee left on the shelf Heartbreak’s the ghost that won’t leave myself I still see your shadow on the wall I still hear your voice when the phone won’t call [Verse 2 – added bass line, light snare tap] I donated your books to the downtown store But kept the ticket from that old theater show The one where you cried at the final scene Now I cry just thinking what could’ve been [Pre-Chorus – swelled strings, slightly faster tempo] I keep playing our song on repeat I keep waiting for your knock on the street But the door stays closed, the clock ticks slow I’m still caught in the love we outgrew [Chorus – layered vocals, stronger guitar strums, soaring violin] Love feels like a song I can’t finish yet Heartbreak’s the echo I can’t forget I still trace your name in the frost on the pane I still wait for you to come back again [Bridge – stripped back to piano and vocals, vulnerable tone] I know I should let go, I know it’s time But your memory’s a vine that’s wrapped around my mind I’ll carry this scar until the end A reminder of how we loved, and how we bent [Solo – weeping violin melody, soft piano accompaniment] (Instrumental Solo) [Final Chorus – full orchestral swell, powerful vocals] Love was the light that lit up my dark Heartbreak’s the storm that tore apart I’ll keep your ghost in my quietest days A love that faded, but never erased [Outro – fading piano, distant rain, soft vocal hum] Streetlamp fades on empty stone Your ghost still lingers in my home
