© 2026 Daniel Claessens [Intro | solo piano arpeggio, very soft, 4 bars] Love is beautiful… yet it carries pain… [Verse 1 | intimate, slow] When it is broken after it has been, silence is growing where warmth once lived. Time gently closes what has passed away, but in the darkness a spark still stays. [Pre-Chorus | breathlike, fragile] Not only loss… but the light that once shone on me… [Chorus | open, aching, sustained] What never loved leaves nothing behind— no wound, no tears, no silent cry. Only the heart that dared to feel finds in the hurting that love is real… and love remains. [Verse 2 | deeper, warm piano tone] The sharpened edges grow soft and still, like fading daylight on a quiet hill. Beneath the sorrow that slowly fades, something is living time cannot erase. [Pre-Chorus 2 | very soft rise] No voice, no form, no sign to see… yet love itself has never left me… [Chorus | fuller emotion, still restrained] What once was true will always stay, even when we drift away. Where the heart has bled the most, there lies the proof of what we loved… of what was real… and love remains. [Bridge | almost whispered, minimal piano] So let me weep for what is gone… Grief is only love holding on… And in the emptiness left behind, I feel you softly inside my mind… [Final Chorus | highest emotion, gentle] Pain will rest, time will heal, but love survives what we can’t keep. Even without you, through the night, what we once were still holds the light… [Outro | single fading piano notes] Where you have gone… something stays… No ending there… only… love… remains…
