[Intro – sparse dark pads, distant piano notes, low 808 pulse] [atmospheric tension over 15 seconds] [Verse 1 – low, intimate male vocals, slightly raspy] She walked in quiet like she already knew my name Eyes like a warning I ignored the same Said she wasn’t looking for a permanent place But every word she dropped left a mark on my face I felt the shift the second she got close Heart started racing like it already chose Told myself I had it under control But something in her smile was already taking hold (taking hold) [Pre-Chorus – rising tension, filtered pads, soft hi-hat rolls] [build over 10 seconds] [Chorus – fuller energy, emotional delivery] She was the first crack in the glass The quiet storm I never saw coming past I let her in and felt my mind start to slip First fracture forming with every kiss (every kiss) She was the first crack in the glass I didn’t even notice until it was too late to ask [Verse 2 – slightly more intense, tighter flow] Nights got longer, sleep got thin She became the only voice I wanted in Started rearranging everything I knew Just to keep her looking at me the way she used to I called it love, but it felt like a debt Every time she left I was already in a sweat Told my boys I was fine, just a little off track But the fracture was spreading and there was no going back (no going back) [Bridge – sparse, near-whisper] [soft piano and pads only] I didn’t know yet How much of me she already kept [Chorus – maximum energy, layered ad-libs] She was the first crack in the glass The quiet storm I never saw coming past I let her in and felt my mind start to slip First fracture forming with every kiss (every kiss) She was the first crack in the glass I didn’t even notice until it was too late to ask [Outro – fading pads, echoing piano, soft 808 tails] [gradual decay over 20 seconds] First fracture… And I still let her stay [End]
