[Intro] (Simple piano notes, quiet and sad) [Verse 1] (Soft, breathy, slightly hoarse) The curtains fall, the shadows grow long, The crowd fades away, and so does our song. A whispered rumor, a storm in the dark, They tore down the stage, leaving only a scar. I bowed my head to the judgment they passed, Holding a love that was too pure to last. [Pre-Chorus] (Voice trembling slightly, very simple) But in the silence, beneath the cold stone, A flickering light stands completely alone. I close my eyes as the cold wind blows, Where the secret melody softly flows. [Chorus] (Soft and light, no belting, pure sadness) Wishing you were somehow here by my side, No more rumors, no more secrets to hide. Too many cold words, too many forced goodbyes, Yet the truth remains in my weeping eyes. Through the bittersweet tragedy, through all the blame, My bleeding heart still softly calls your name. [Verse 2] (Intimate whisper, raw emotion) The cameras are blinding, the headlines are cruel, They made me a martyr, they played me a fool. But beneath the armor, away from the light, I’m just a fragile soul wandering the night. My voice may tremble, my words may be brief, But dignity stands on the ashes of grief. [Bridge] (Minimalist, just voice and piano) The sirens cease, the world goes still, I’ve paid the price, I’ve broken my will. But the music we wrote will never decay, Even when memory fades into gray. [Outro] (Fading out, simple) The stage lights grow dim, the final strings sigh, A quiet acceptance, a timeless goodbye. No applause in the dark, no crowd in the hall, Onstage… I still belong to you, after all.
