[Intro - Clean electric guitar arpeggio, slow echoing drum heartbeat] [Verse 1 - Male Lead, raw, intimate, confessional] Long time since I saw your face Long time since I stood in this place Memories still hanging heavy Everything I pushed away [Pre-Chorus - Bass enters, slow build] [Male Lead] And every time I try to speak The words just crumble into dust [Female Harmony - Rising above] (I carry all this weight alone) [Chorus - Guitars swell, emotional release] [Male Lead - Vulnerable, aching] It's been so long since I've been whole It's been so long since I felt home [Female Harmony - Soaring counter-melody] (Something always pulls me back to you) [Dual Vocals - Both voices intertwining] It's been so long... [Verse 2 - Heavier, more desperate] [Male Lead] I pushed you all away from me I built these walls so carefully Now I'm standing in the ruins Trying to find my way back [Bridge - Stripped down to just piano and male vocal] [Male Lead - Whispered, broken] Long time gone... Long time gone... [Female Harmony - Building from silence] (Come back to me) [Final Chorus - Full explosion, both voices at maximum emotion] [Dual Vocals] It's been so long since I've been whole! It's been so long since I felt home! [Female Lead - Climax belt] (I'LL FIND MY WAY BACK TO YOU!) [Male Lead - Cracking with emotion] It's been so long... [Outro - Clean guitar fades, one last whispered line] [Male Lead] Long time gone..
