[Intro – gentle fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft rain ambient sound] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – soft strummed guitar, subtle shaker] Morning light spills through cracked window panes Dust motes dance where your shadow remains Empty mug still holds the ghost of your tea Quiet hum of the fridge’s company [Pre-Chorus – faint cello undercurrent, slow build] I trace the cracks on the kitchen wall Wondering if you ever think of it all [Chorus – layered vocal harmonies, light drum beat kicks in] Soft sighs echo through the empty space Your laugh still lingers in the quiet place I keep the door cracked just in case You come back to chase the gray away [Verse 2 – added xylophone trill, warm bass line] Old sweater hangs on the bedroom chair Still smells like your shampoo in the air I found your book with the folded page The words still speak like you’re on the stage [Pre-Chorus – slightly louder cello, rising vocal tone] I run my thumb over your faded name Wishing I could turn back the frame [Chorus – fuller instrumentation, brighter harmonies] Soft sighs echo through the empty space Your laugh still lingers in the quiet place I keep the door cracked just in case You come back to chase the gray away [Bridge – stripped back to acoustic guitar, intimate vocals] I know the clock won’t rewind its hands I know the story’s reached its end But I still hold onto the smallest thread Of the warmth that once filled this bed [Chorus – full band swell, emotional peak] Soft sighs echo through the empty space Your laugh still lingers in the quiet place I’ll leave the door cracked just in case You come back to chase the gray away [Outro – fading guitar, soft rain sound returns] Morning light fades to evening haze Soft sighs fade with the dying days
