Author Notes:
A quiet reflection on the moments we overlook, the wounds we hide, and the magic we unknowingly extinguish in ourselves and others. Each verse is a whisper from the forgotten—reminding us that even the smallest heartbreaks leave echoes where wonder used to live.

[Hook of Heartbreak]
Are you listening?
To the hush between the harm.
To the breath before the bruise.
To the place where magic starves.
(Somewhere, a fairy dies.)

[Verse 1 – Childhood Lost]
A child tears wings from paper flight,
Too young for guilt, too dull for fright.
He doesn’t hear the wind go still—
The shimmer leaves the chalkboard light.
(Somewhere, a fairy dies.)

[Verse 2 – First Betrayal]
She deletes her poems—one by one—
After laughter cracked her spine.
The screen goes dark. Her voice goes numb.
She swallows years, another glass of wine.
(Somewhere, a fairy dies.)

[Chorus of Sadness]
Somewhere, a fairy dies. (when you forget how to feel)
Somewhere, a fairy dies. (when you trade truth for steel)
Falsetto cries in cello haze,
Tom drums echo through the maze.
Somewhere… a fairy dies… (and no one hears the wings)

[Verse 3 – Giving In]
He signs his name in ink and ash,
Canvas traded for a suit’s disguise.
His paints dry up in garage dusk,
Even his dreams forget to rise.
(Somewhere, a fairy dies.)

[Verse 4 – Love Fades]
They stop touching at the meal,
Forks scrape plates—not hearts or skin.
The silence stretches past the food,
And something small caves in.
(Somewhere, a fairy dies.)

[Chorus of Breaking]
Somewhere, a fairy dies. (when the warmth turns into stone)
Somewhere, a fairy dies. (when you ache but stay alone)
Falsetto breaks in cello moan,
Drums collapse like brittle bone.
Somewhere, a fairy dies.  (and no one sees the fall)

[Verse 5 – Grief Silenced]
He’s told that, men don’t cry,
So he hides his tears in sleeves and dusk.
His sorrow grows in quiet soil,
Where even weeds refuse to trust.
(Somewhere, a fairy dies.)

[Verse 6 – Digital Isolation]
She scrolls past suicidal note,
Thinks it’s a meme, moves on again.
Just another ghost in the feed,
By morning, one less name remains.
(Somewhere, a fairy dies.)

[Hook of Heartbreak]
Are you listening?
To the hush between the harm.
To the breath before the bruise.
To the place where magic starves.
(Somewhere, a fairy dies.)

[Bridge – Reflection or Collapse]
You think the fairies fled the world—
But maybe they just hide inside.
Each time you forget how to feel,
One tucks its wings and cries.
(Somewhere, a fairy dies.)
