[Intro – Solo Cello, Distant Piano, Ambient Guitar] Silence falls where your name still lives… Every heartbeat remembers… Every scar still speaks… [Verse 1] We stood beneath a dying sky, Two souls already saying goodbye. “When we two parted…” The world forgot… But I still carry every thought. Morning frost upon your skin, Winter settled deep within. “Pale grew thy cheek and cold…” Like love itself Was already turning into stone. Every promise disappeared, Leaving echoes only I could hear. [Pre-Chorus – Strings Rising, Low Distorted Guitar Enters] You became the ghost inside my veins, A whispered prayer I can’t restrain. Every mile… Every year… Still leads me back to standing here. [Chorus – Full Band, Soaring Vocals] You left me breathing in the dark, Holding ashes where there once was fire. If silence is forever… Why does your memory still sing? “Long, long shall I rue thee…” Every sunrise breaks me new. You became the wound that never closes The love I never buried… Only survived. [Verse 2] Years have carved another face, But time could never steal your trace. “They name thee before me…” And every word Cuts deeper than the last. I smile while my soul collapses, Pretending every scar has faded. But beneath this borrowed skin Your shadow still begins again. [Bridge – Cello and Piano Only, Spoken Then Sung] “In silence and tears…” If fate rewrote our final page… Would we still become strangers? Would these empty hands Still reach through every dream? Or were we always destined To become beautiful ruins? [Final Chorus – Larger Orchestra, Crushing Guitars, Choir Layers] You left your heartbeat in my chest, A cathedral built from all that’s left. Every night I hear you calling From the place where love still dies. “How should I greet thee?” If tomorrow brought you home… “With silence and tears.” No anger… No forgiveness… Only the echo of what we were. You were my forever… Before forever disappeared. [Outro – Solo Cello Fading Into Silence] When we two parted… Part of me never returned.
