///*****/// [Technical: 48kHz, Clean Vocal Separation, No Artifacts] [voice: deep male vocals, smoky husky texture, street-weary delivery, lazy phrasing, confessional intimacy, raspy, gravelly, close-mic proximity] [range: G2–E4] [exclude styles: falsett / kopfstimme, head voice, clean pop polish, bright, sweet, high vibrato, auto-tune, high-pitched screams, belting] [Intro] The sink drips slow, like it’s counting me out An empty chair at the table, the TV turned down I hear my name in the hum of the fridge But no one’s here, just the ghosts that I live with [Verse] I tried to call you, but my hands wouldn’t move The phone’s on the counter, staring back like the truth There’s a shirt you left, still hanging on the door Smells like a fight we don’t have anymore [Chorus] Can we give love a second try? I’m not whole, but I can’t let it die I’m scared of the quiet, terrified of the sound Of the life you built with someone else now [Verse] I made your coffee wrong, just out of routine Two sugars, no cream, but you’re not here to scream The mirror’s cracked, shows a face I don’t know A stranger who’s scared to end up alone [Chorus] Can we give love a second try? I’m not whole, but I can’t let it die I’m scared of the quiet, terrified of the sound Of the life you built with someone else now [Bridge] I’m not asking for miracles, just a little rewind I’ll take your anger, your silence, your fire this time I swear I’ll hold the pieces, no glue’s too strong ‘Cause nothing’s worse than knowing you’re gone [Verse] I burned the toast, and the smoke alarm screams Just like my head when I’m stuck in these streams I found your note in the back of my drawer "I couldn’t stay," it said, "but you deserved more" [Chorus] Can we give love a second try? I’m not whole, but I can’t let it die I’m scared of the quiet, terrified of the sound Of the life you built with someone else now [Outro] The sink still drips, but now it sounds like you Laughing at me, for the things I couldn’t do I’m clutching at air, but it still slips through If you hear me somehow, I’m still waiting for you [End]
