[Intro] (The sound of a wind-up music box begins. The melody is delicate, slightly out of tune, and echoing in a large, empty hall. A cold wind whistles in the background.) [Verse 1] The snow is falling on the stone A dinner set for one, alone The moonlight silver, sharp and cold On stories that will stay untold I brought the roses, painted black To bring a piece of 'us' back But the earth is deep and the air is still Against my fading, broken will [Pre-Chorus] (Music box fades out as a pulsing, low-end saw synth begins to swell. Atmospheric pads rise in volume.) I’m whispering to the shadows now A silent oath, a hollow vow One more night in this graveyard blue Celebrating what was meant for you [Chorus] (Drop: Heavy Alan Walker-style lead synth with a staccato melody. Deep, rhythmic bass and driving percussion.) Happy Valentine’s to the ghost of us In the silence, in the dust We’re dancing where the lilies grow In the garden down below Oh, oh-oh-oh... Our forever in the afterglow [Verse 2] (Drums drop out, leaving a thin, distorted synth pulse and the music box returning.) I trace your name in frozen moss The heavy price of sudden loss The wine is bitter, the glass is chilled The void you left is never filled I hear your laughter in the breeze Between the skeletal, winter trees [Bridge] (Eerie vocal chops. The beat builds up rapidly with a rising snare roll.) What could have been? What should have been? Locked behind the iron gate A masterpiece destroyed by fate (Beat builds...) I'm never leaving! [Chorus] (Drop: Maximum energy, haunting lead synth melody, minor-key progression.) Happy Valentine’s to the ghost of us In the silence, in the dust We’re dancing where the lilies grow In the garden down below Oh, oh-oh-oh... Our forever in the afterglow [Outro] (Everything cuts out abruptly except for the music box. It slows down gradually as if the spring is running out.) Just you and me... In the cold... Happy Valentine’s... (The final note of the music box hangs, then clicks shut.)
