"On Love Alone" (MUSIC INTRO: 8 seconds of haunting lone piano - 4-note repeating motif, intimate sound) (Verse 1 - breathy, intimate, close-mic'd) I trace your face, then I erase These phantom tears I can't replace The clock ticks on, a hollow sound My feet still on this haunted ground (Chorus 1 - drums enter, stronger vocals) No future in your warm embrace Just shadows in this empty space Alone I walk, but not alone... [voice cracks slightly] I learn to live on love alone... [slower, definitive] I learn to live on love alone. (Verse 2 - more tension, frustration) I mute your songs, I hide our past But every silence seems to last I build these walls, stone by stone To live inside a world not our own (Chorus 2 - more power, desperation) NO future in your last embrace! Just GHOSTS in this empty space! Alone I walk... [drum stop] but NOT alone... [belting, strained] I MUST learn to live on love alone! [defiant] I MUST learn to live on love alone. (Verse 3 - THE ACCEPTANCE - quiet, heavy) No place for me where you belong My heart has known this all along I can't forget you, I finally see You live in dreams, my reality (Bridge - dreamy, then resigned) In another sky, another night We'd be written in the light But here the script is set in stone... [whispered] So I'll make this ache my home. (FINAL CHORUS - explosive, emotional release) [powerful, anguished] NO FUTURE IN YOUR LAST EMBRACE! [shouting] JUST GHOSTS IN THIS EMPTY SPACE! Alone I walk... [full stop] but NOT ALONE... [single breath, belted] I LEARN TO LIVE ON LOVE ALONE! [punctuated, each word emphasized] I... LEARN... ON LOVE... ALONE! (Outro - exhaustion, fading) [whispered] On love... [breathy] Alone... [barely audible] I learn... [complete fade] ...I learn.
