[Intro – soft piano, airy pad, breath vocal]

[Intro – soft piano, airy pad, breath vocal] (soft inhale) You said forever… ⸻ Verse 1 (breathy, intimate) November air, your jacket on my shoulders (soft harmony under “shoulders”) You said forever like we’d never get older I saw the cracks but I stayed anyway You were already halfway away You’d fall asleep with me on the line (whisper layer: “on the line”) I built a future in my mind You said my name like it was safe But you were planning your escape ⸻ Pre-Chorus (drums begin building) I gave you all my open parts You kept your distance in the dark (soft echo: dark…) I held you like you’d fall apart While you were breaking my heart ⸻ Chorus (FULL DRUMS, BIG VOCALS) And you’re still everything (layered harmony stack) Even after everything Every lie, every scar Every night I fell apart I was holding on (upper harmony enters) While you were letting go You said I was your world But you never felt like home And it kills me (hold note, light vibrato) You’re still everything ⸻ Verse 2 (more drums, subtle pulse) You swore I was the only one But secrets don’t stay buried long Truth hits harder after midnight When love turns into second place fights You’d look at me and look away Like I was something you’d outgrow someday I cried right there in front of you You said sorry like that would undo ⸻ Pre-Chorus (bigger build) I gave you every fragile part You held my body, not my heart (soft harmony echo) heart… I thought if I loved you harder You’d finally choose me [snare build rising] ⸻ Final Chorus (BIGGEST, stacked harmonies) You’re still everything Even after everything Even knowing what I know Even trying to let you go I was holding on (choir stack harmony) To someone who couldn’t stay You said I was your forever But forever slipped away And it breaks me (hold note, slight vocal crack) You’re still everything ⸻ Outro (piano only, stripped back) (soft falsetto) You’re still… Everything… (fade with airy pad)
