⸻ 🎼 “I Need the Antidote (Lost Love Version)” ⸻ [Intro | ambient pad | soft sax swell | distant room tone] Phantom feeling from your side of the bed Empty driveway where your car used to rest Silence louder than the words we never said Now it’s just me in this house in my head Oh ⸻ [Verse 1 | light drums | muted guitar | low sax accents] I’m on the brink of the brink Running dry when I think Every moment we had Now it slips through my hands Every crack in the walls Every frame in the hall Still reminds me of you Like I’m trapped in it all ⸻ [Pre-Chorus | build | rising tension] Was it me, was it you Was it everything we couldn’t undo Every fight, every scar Now I don’t even know where you are ⸻ [Chorus | full but restrained | emotional lift] I need the antidote Notice the distance growing between us I need the antidote You were the only one who could free us I need the antidote Ooh ooh I need the antidote Ooh ooh I need the antidote ⸻ [Chant Chorus | stripped | rhythmic | group feel but lonely] Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out I’m not with you, I’m not with you Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out I’m not with you, I’m not with you ⸻ [Instrumental Solo 0 | dirty sax lead | slow, expressive | late-night tone] ⸻ [Verse 2 | minimal | intimate vocal | sparse instrumentation] Coffee’s cold on your side of the table Two cups sitting but I’m the only one able To sit in the quiet, replay every line Every “we’ll be okay” that turned into goodbye Now I’m staring at ghosts In the life that we chose And I’m talking to walls Like they already know ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 2 | stronger | emotional push] I tried calling your name But it echoes and nothing’s the same Every road that I take Just leads back to the mess that we made ⸻ [Chorus 2 | stronger delivery] I need the antidote Notice the distance growing between us I need the antidote You were the only one who could free us I need the antidote Ooh ooh I need the antidote Ooh ooh I need the antidote ⸻ [Chant Chorus 2 | fuller | heavier emotional weight] Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out I’m not with you, I’m not with you Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out I’m not with you, I’m not with you ⸻ [Instrumental Solo 1 | electric guitar lead | delay | emotional phrasing] ⸻ [Bridge / Verse 3 | drop drums | piano + pad | intimate] I remember the nights When forever felt right When your hand was in mine And the world felt aligned Now the silence just screams Through the cracks in my dreams And I’m left with the truth That it’s not what it seemed ⸻ [Instrumental Solo 2 | sax + guitar blend | slow, fading, emotional] ⸻ [Final Chorus | biggest emotional lift] I need the antidote Now there’s nothing but space here between us I need the antidote And I don’t even know how to reach you I need the antidote Ooh ooh I need the antidote Ooh ooh I need the antidote ⸻ [Outro Chant | extended | hollow, fading] Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out I’m not with you, I’m not with you Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out I’m not with you, I’m not with you Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out I’m not with you, I’m not with you Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out I’m not with you, I’m not with you ⸻ [Final Line | soft, broken vocal] You were the antidote But now you're gone What do I do now... [song ends] [Do not repeat]
