WATCHING ME BURN

sad pop ballad, gentle piano, subtle guitar layers, intimate female vocals, restrained dynamics, wistful melancholy, slow emotional build

V4.5-ALL

(Verse 1)
The city lights are blurring out, another lonely night
I walk the crowded streets again, searching for your light
I keep replaying memories, the promises we made
But silence is the only sound that echoes where you stayed.
(Pre-Chorus)
You know exactly where I am, you hear the distant plea
But every moment that goes by, you keep your eyes on me
From your safe distance, you observe the wreckage of my heart
I thought we had a future, but you tore it all apart.
(Chorus)
Can't you see I'm out there?
You're still watching me burn.
A hundred times I've called your name, for a single sign to learn
If I was special to you
Won't you let me go down there?
This fiery ache, this hollow space, a burden I can't bear.
(Verse 2)
I trace the ghost of your hand in mine, on walls that know our secret names
This love feels like a waiting game, fueled by these flickering flames
I see the 'read' receipts appear, you take the time to look
You hold the key to pull me out, but you keep it in your book.
(Pre-Chorus)
You know exactly where I am, you hear the distant plea
But every moment that goes by, you keep your eyes on me
I thought your kindness was the truth, but it was just a lie
Why stand and watch the smoke rise up, without a tear in your eye?
(Chorus)
Can't you see I'm out there?
You're still watching me burn.
A hundred times I've called your name, for a single sign to learn
If I was special to you
Won't you let me go down there?
This fiery ache, this hollow space, a burden I can't bear.
(Bridge)
Is this your power, your control, to see me at my lowest ebb?
To know the damage that you've done, caught in this painful web?
I’m sinking fast into the dark, and you still haven't moved
What kind of love is this, my dear? What do you think you’ve proved?
(Chorus)
Can't you see I'm out there?
You're still watching me burn.
A hundred times I've called your name, for a single sign to learn
If I was special to you
Won't you let me go down there?
This fiery ache, this hollow space, a burden I can't bear.
(Outro)
Won't you let me go down there...
If I was special to you...
And still, you just... watching me burn.
