⸻ 🎼 “I Need the Antidote (Lost Love Version – V2 Alt Cut)” ⸻ [Intro | soft piano | ambient pad | distant guitar swell] 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 | piano + soft pulse | light texture] 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 | rising pad | subtle build] 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 controlled | 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 1 | stripped | pulsing rhythm] 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 Break | short synth lead | light guitar echo | transition] ⸻ [Verse 2 | minimal | intimate vocal] 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 That empty space on my ring Says more than anything Every glance at my hand Feels like losing again ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 2 | stronger build] 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 | slightly 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 | progression] Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out I’m not with you, I’m lost without you Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out I’m not with you, now I miss you ⸻ [Instrumental Solo | electric guitar lead | delay | emotional phrasing] ⸻ [Bridge | drop instruments | piano + pad] I remember the nights When forever felt right When your hand was in mine And the world felt aligned Now the silence just stays Through the rest of my days And I’m left with the truth That we drifted away ⸻ [Final Chorus | full but controlled | layered vocal] 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 | shortened | fading] Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out I’m not with you, I still feel you Down and out I’m out when I’m down and out I’m not with you, I’m still missing you ⸻ [Final Line | soft, close] You were the antidote
