voice like a memory

Verse 1 – soft, breathy, emotional] I hear your voice like a memory I’m scared to touch, soft as the night when the city lights fade. Every step I take keeps pulling me back to you, even when I tell myself I’m okay. Your name still trembles on my lips, like a secret I can’t let go. [Pre‑Chorus – rising tension, melodic J‑Pop phrasing] I’m trying not to fall again, but my heart keeps running to you. Even when I close my eyes, I feel the truth breaking through. Tell me why it hurts this way— tell me why I still stay. [Chorus – belting space, emotional, slightly raspy edges] I’m calling out your name tonight, even if my voice shakes, even if it breaks. I’m reaching through the dark for you, burning like a flame I can’t replace. If loving you is all I have, I’ll give it till the stars fall down. I’m calling out your name tonight— don’t let me drown. [Verse 2 – breathy + emotional detail] I trace the echoes of the words we never said, trying to hold what’s slipping away. Your shadow lingers in the corners of my mind, soft and warm like the end of a dream. I’m scared to lose the sound of you, scared of who I’ll be without it. [Bridge – emotional peak, room for belting or rasp] If I break, will you hear me? If I fall, will you stay? Every heartbeat’s getting louder— I can’t run from you this way. Pull me closer, pull me through, I’m still choosing you. [Final Chorus – strongest belting moment] I’m calling out your name tonight, even if my voice shakes, even if it breaks. I’m reaching through the dark for you, burning like a flame I can’t replace. If loving you is all I have, I’ll give it till the stars fall down. I’m calling out your name tonight— don’t let me drown.
