[Intro] [Instrument: solo piano, soft ambient room noise] [Energy: still] [Verse 1] [Energy: fragile] i’ve been staring at the ceiling counting cracks above my bed all the words i should’ve told you now they’re screaming in my head your coffee cup’s still on the table i can’t bring myself to clean i keep the mess just how you left it like i’m holding to a dream [Pre-Chorus] [Energy: trembling build] i try to breathe but i choke i laugh but it breaks every sound feels wrong since you walked away [Chorus] [Energy: full emotional lift] i’m still here somehow but it’s colder now and the silence fills this place like you’re haunting every space i still talk out loud though you’re not around and it kills me more each day that you’re gone but i still stay [Verse 2] [Energy: deeper sorrow] i saw your coat behind the door and my heart jumped out of place for a second i believed it that i might still see your face but the ghosts are getting louder and the nights go on too long i light a candle just to whisper “tell me what i did so wrong” [Pre-Chorus] [Instrument: soft string pad] i try to sleep but i wake your name’s in the dark every part of me is falling apart [Chorus] [Energy: stronger belt, orchestral lift] i’m still here somehow but it’s colder now and the silence fills this place like you’re haunting every space i still talk out loud though you’re not around and it kills me more each day that you’re gone but i still stay [Bridge] [Key change: d major] [Energy: vulnerable peak] if love was enough would you still be here? would the walls still echo or just disappear? [Chorus – Final] [Energy: full voice, trembling emotion] i’m still here somehow but it’s colder now and the silence fills this place like you’re haunting every space i still talk out loud though you’re not around and it kills me more each day that you’re gone… but i still stay [Outro] [Instrument: solo piano fading out] [Energy: soft, unresolved] i still stay...
