[Intro: dark piano, heartbeat bass] [HER, breathy whisper] I love you… more than I can bear… And maybe that's the only truth I know… [Breath] [HIM, warm intimate baritone] I feel you… even when I'm silent… But I don't know how to let it show… [Verse 1 – HER, soft, emotional] I loved you through the aching, Through the silence and forgiving, I still love you in tomorrow, Like my last unfinished longing. Everywhere my footsteps wander, I keep your name beneath my armor, And even when I'm lost somehow… I love you… that's all I know how… [Soft strings enter] [Verse 2 – HIM, warm baritone, gentle guitar] I've seen you hiding in the darkness, Felt your heartbreak in your whispers, And when I couldn't find the words, I loved you more than I could tell. When you call and I don't answer, It doesn't mean my love has vanished, I'm not running from what we are… I'm fighting all the walls inside my heart… [Pre-Chorus – alternating voices, rising strings] [HER] I love you when you hold me closer, When you pull me in, then disappear… [HIM] And I search for you in every silence, Even when you think I'm not right here… [HER, fragile whisper] Tell me… can you still feel me? [HIM, intimate] More than these words can ever show… [BOTH, building harmony] Two hearts beating out of time, Two souls still reaching through the night, Neither wants to lose the other… Neither knows how to let go… [Pause] [Chorus – full orchestra, massive drums] [HER, powerful, trembling vibrato; sustain key vowels] I love you more than I can bear, With all the chaos that I wear, I love you even when you break me, When you leave… but never set me free. [HIM, warm powerful baritone] I love you more than I can say, I hide a thousand words away, When I reach for you, you cannot see, I'm afraid you'll stop believing me. [BOTH, soaring harmonies, choir] I love you with this hungry longing, With kisses falling, arms still aching, I don't know what else to do… I love you… it's all I know to do… [BOTH, sustained unison] I love you… More than I can beeeear… [Guitar interlude: 4 bars, lyrical clean electric guitar, expressive bends; strings swell] [Verse 3 – HIM, deeper, warm, subtle rasp] I love you with all my fiiire, With all the light and all the anger. When you reach for me, I tremble, When you leave, I miss you harder. [HER, intimate and vulnerable] I can feel you in the midnight, In the glances you never notice, And I'm slowly losing ground… I love you… that's all I ever found… [HIM, restrained, emotional] If I could only find the words For the storm I keep inside… [HER, soft] I don't need another promise, I just need you by my side… [Bridge – stripped piano, fragile vocals] [HER, almost crying] If this love is meant to hurt me… Let it hurt me, let it reach me… [HIM, soft and vulnerable] If this love still calls between us, Don't let fear become the reason… [HER, breathy whisper] Without you here inside me… [HIM, aching, gentle vocal quiver] Everything feels cold and empty… [BOTH, slowly building harmony] Still our hearts keep beating, Through the shadows, through the grieving, Through the words we never say… Still we find our way… [Pause; heartbeat bass returns] [8-bar emotional guitar solo: clean lyrical melody, sustained notes, gentle vibrato and expressive bends; answer HER then HIM; warm overdrive builds with strings, timpani and drums. No shredding.] [Brief dramatic pause] [Final Chorus – huge cinematic rock climax] [HER, soaring, raw, sustained vowels] I love you more than I can beeeear… And still I shout it through the aaair… [HIM, powerful warm response] I love you, and I need you to knooow… You're the one I never learned to let gooo… [HER] If this is what they call foreeeever… [HIM] Then let me face it here with yooou… [BOTH, explosive harmonies, orchestra and choir] I love you with the whole of me, With every wound you cannot see, I won't run and I won't hide, Let my heart speak by your side! [HER, sustained] I love you… [HIM, warm sustained response] I love you… [BOTH, long emotional harmony] More than we can beeeear… [Outro – orchestra fades, piano and clean guitar] [HER, whispered] I love you… [HIM, close-mic whisper] I do… [BOTH, fading vibrato] More than we can bear… [8 sec: piano holds, guitar echoes softly, strings fade to silence]
