Intro ((🎧 Short, 4 sec, soft piano motif with distant cinematic pads)) Verse 1 (🎤 Intimate, fragile delivery with natural breath) I’ve been carrying the quiet wrong Like strength means holding on too long Every night I rehearse the fall Just in case I lose it all Pre-Chorus (Build gently with swelling strings and low piano harmony) I don’t need to be the flame I don’t need to take the blame If I stumble in the dark Promise you won’t turn away Chorus (🔥 Emotional lift with full piano, strings, and layered vocals) Hold the light for me If my hands start shaking I’m not asking you to save me Just stay where I can see Verse 2 (🎤 Warmer tone, still restrained but steadier) I’ve been standing at the edge Trying not to make a mess Every truth I never said Still weighs more inside my chest Pre-Chorus (Build stronger with added low-end and rising string tension) I don’t need a perfect plan I just need to know I can Take one step and still be seen Even when I barely stand Chorus (🔥 Fuller arrangement with harmonies and cinematic depth) Hold the light for me If my hands start shaking I’m not asking you to save me Just stay where I can see Bridge (🎹 Stripped back to piano and exposed vocal) If I break, I break slow Not because I didn’t know I was never meant to shine Just survive this part of time Final Chorus (🔥 Highest emotional peak with stacked vocals and full orchestration) Hold the light for me I’m closer than I seem I don’t need you to believe Just hold the light for me Outro (🎧 Fade out with piano resolving softly and strings dissolving))
