[Verse 1] In the gold light of evening, I paint what I can’t forget. Every touch of the brush remembers, Every silence, a silhouette. [Pre-Chorus] There’s a ghost in every color, A pulse in every hue, But I swear the paint grows brighter Each time I think of you. [Chorus] In this frame I’m still alive, Half in shadow, half in light. If I breathe, will he forgive me? If I love, will it feel right? Hold me softly — I’m still drying. Don’t move me yet. Not tonight. [Verse 2] I hung your photograph in sunlight, So it could learn to fade. The world keeps asking for beauty — I give it all I’ve made. [Bridge] Maybe love was never ending, Just something we restore. Every loss is just a lesson In how to live once more. [Final Chorus] In this frame I start again, Soft as rain on painted skin. If I’m breaking, let it show — Some cracks let the color in. [Outro] [Soft Outro][Muted Trumpet] The air smells like linseed and forgiveness. The past hums quietly — and leaves the room.
