[Intro – Instrumental] (soft airy vocal ad-libs: “mmm… oh…”) (wide pads swelling, shimmering synth rise) (building tension for 30 seconds) [Verse 1 – first vocals at 0:30] [Vocal Style: breathy, emotional, close-mic] I’ve been tracing all the quiet, in the spaces where you used to breathe… Every night the room gets smaller, and your shadow still reaches for me… [Pre-Chorus] [Vocal Emotion: aching lift] I try to tell my heart it's over, but memory keeps pulling strings… You’re the echo in the doorway, you’re the winter in my spring… [Chorus – Modulate Up a Key] [Vocal Style: airy but strong bloom] And I still feel you in the sky above, every light reminds me what we were… I’m falling through the empty space you left, trying to hold what’s no longer there… (soft vocal echoes: “no longer there…”) [Drop – Instrumental with Vocal Textures] (vocal chop textures: “miss… you… still…”) (wide reverb bloom) (soaring melodic bass drop) [Verse 2] [Vocal Style: soft, trembling warmth] I keep walking through the silence, hoping something of you touches me… You were every breath of sunlight, now you’re just a ghost behind my dreams… [Pre-Chorus – Soft Reprise] [Vocal Emotion: vulnerable] I still talk to you in whispers, like you’re listening in the dark… But the truth is that I’m reaching, for the shape of who you are… [Chorus – Modulate Up a Key] [Vocal Style: lifted, bright ache] And I still feel you in the sky above, every light reminds me what we were… I’m falling through the empty space you left, trying to hold what’s no longer there… (whisper echo: “you’re nowhere… but everywhere…”) [Outro – Whispered] [Vocal Style: hushed, fragile] If missing you is all I’m given… I’ll carry it… like it still means something.
