Forgot to eat, forgot to sleep, My mind a restless tide. [Pre-Chorus | Full Orchestra | High Energy] I know I’ve been so quiet lately, Let the silence grow too wide. The nights are long and sleepless, This ache won’t step aside.

If I needed someone to hear me without defence, Would you hold the pieces, not make sense? I need some healing. If I needed someone… would you stay? [Interlude – Sebene-led Guitar Groove | Deep Bass | Long Rolling Drums | Intensifying] [Verse 2 – Full Orchestra – High Energy] You’ve seen me at my lowest point, Watched me stumble, watched me break. Camera steady in your hands, But your heart began to shake. I said “I’m fine” for heaven’s sake, While the words fell to the floor. [Pre-Chorus | Full Orchestra | High Energy] I should have opened up much sooner, But pride can bolt the door. I’m anxious, tired of pretending, Can’t carry this alone anymore. [Chorus – Lead + Choir | Call & Response | Full Orchestra | Repeat | No Drop | Sitar, Bansuri, Guzheng, Tabla, Dholak, Morsing | Dramatic, Aggressive, Uplifting, Triumphant, Intense] [ALL – Choir + Audience Together] If I needed someone to sit with me in the grey, Would you put the phone down, choose to stay? If I needed someone to hear me without defence, Would you hold the pieces, not make sense? I need some healing. If I needed someone… [Bridge – Full Orchestra – Repeat | No Drop] [Solo Guitar – High Register Melodic Lead | Upper Register (Frets 7 and Above, Strings 1–3) | Bright, Clear Tone | Single-Note Lines | No Heavy Distortion] [ALL – Choir + Audience Together] Maybe I am asking too much, Maybe love feels light on brighter days. But what is “I love you” worth If it fades when comfort fades? Would you want the unpolished version, The one without disguise? [Final Hook / Outro – Full Orchestra – High Energy] [Solo Guitar – High Register Melodic Lead | Upper Register (Frets 7 and Above, Strings 1–3) | Bright, Clear Tone | Single-Note Lines | No Heavy Distortion] If I needed someone to sit with me now, Would you lay your judgement down? If I needed someone to let me fall apart, Would you stay close, not fix my heart? I need some healing. If I needed someone… Would it be you? Just stay. [Interlude – Sebene-led Guitar Groove | Deep Bass | Long Rolling Drums | Intensifying] [Fade Out]
