[Intro (spoken, free time)] (soft piano, breath close to the mic) Mmm… Yeah… I didn’t know love could sound like footsteps leaving… Oh, ma boo… [Verse 1] I never loved you more, ma boo Than when I turned my back that night The forest took me in its arms Blue shadows, breathing light The trees were humming secrets low Stars pale, hanging in the west I carried all the words unsaid Heavy… right here in my chest (soft ad-libs: “mmm… yeah… ohhh…”) [Pre-Chorus] I didn’t laugh — not even once My smile stayed far away I walked like play was destiny Dancing toward my ache (spoken aside) Funny how leaving Feels like falling in love again… [Chorus] I loved you most When I walked away Yeah, I loved you most That evening In the blue, blue forest Where my heart learned how to stay… Broken… But honest (ad-libs: “ooh… loved you… yeah… mm…”) [Verse 2] Faces faded behind my steps Like echoes losing shape Their eyes were dusk, their mouths were night Calling me to stay But every breath I took alone Felt truer than before Sometimes love don’t mean holding on It mean walking through the door (light scat: “ba-doo… ba-daa… hmm…”) [Pre-Chorus 2] No laughter, no disguise Just truth beneath the stars I kissed my fear, I tipped my hat To everything we are (spoken) I was brave… For the first time… [Chorus (variation)] I loved you most When I walked away Oh, I loved you most That night In the blue, blue forest Where the dark Still felt like light (ad-libs layered: “ohhh… yeah… mmm… loved you…”) [Bridge (spoken word → sung)] Everything was grand that night Even the pain Even the silence Even my name Falling out your mouth Like a prayer you couldn’t say (transition into melody) I walked toward a darker fate But baby, it felt true Some loves are meant to haunt you Not belong to you [Instrumental Break / Scat Section] (trumpet answers vocal) Ba-doo-ya, ba-doo-ya Mmm… ahhh… Oo-ba-dee, oo-ba-daa Yeah… yeah… [(自由, loose timing, expressive)] [Final Chorus (emotional peak)] I never loved you more, ma boo Than when I let you go In that blue, blue forest Where I learned what love ain’t for I loved you most When I walked away Ohhh… I loved you most… [Outro (whispered, fading)] Sometimes love Is the courage to leave Mmm… Ma boo… [(piano resolves, soft brush fade)]
