[Intro | close low register | piano and low synth] Don't soften it I know what this is [Verse 1 | dark chest tone | free phrasing | drums absent] You say goodbye, then call me Like the leaving didn't count You take half the distance Then you turn the whole thing round [Pre-Chorus | connected chest phrasing | low toms gather] I won't live between What you mean and what you do [Chorus | chest-led mix | strings and synths widen | controlled cry edge] If you're leaving, leave me whole Don't come back in pieces I can live with letting go Not a thousand little endings [Instrumental Break | piano motif | bowed strings | deep bass swell] [Verse 2 | low register return | sparse broken pulse] Every promise after midnight Makes the morning harder still You can call it hesitation I can call it what it is [Pre-Chorus | higher chest placement | toms intensify] I won't live between What you mean and what you do [Bridge | piano exposed | each line rises | chest mix opens] Go all the way Let the ending hold If you have to leave me Leave me whole [Vocal Peak | sustained upper chest mix | cry edge opening into rasp] Leave me whole [Final Chorus | full organic drums | orchestral synth lift | maximum vocal range] If you're leaving, leave me whole Don't come back in pieces I can live with letting go Not a thousand little endings [Outro | instruments fall away | dark low register] Don't soften it Leave me whole
