[Intro] [Simple, memorable 4-note piano motif repeats] [Soft, steady heartbeat sound underneath] [Verse 1] My tired heart, a worn-out drum A fading beat, becoming numb The rhythm’s weak, it’s coming undone For you, my love, I’m coming undone [Pre-Chorus] The wires cross, the signals fade This love we had starts to degrade It’s getting hard to turn the page Oh, my heart’s a cage… my heart’s a cage… [Chorus] [Music swells with layered vocals and deeper synth bass] My heart is skipping, skipping a beat This love is slipping right through me It’s getting hard to feel complete My heart is skipping, skipping a beat (Skipping a beat… skipping a beat…) [Verse 2] The valves are stuck, the pressure drops This tired love, it finally stops No more sparks, no more shocks Just empty rooms and silent clocks [Pre-Chorus] The current’s low, the light grows dim Our chances looking pretty slim It’s getting hard to even pretend Oh, this is the end… this is the end… [Chorus] [Full production with stronger drums and emotional vocals] My heart is skipping, skipping a beat This love is slipping right through me It’s getting hard to feel complete My heart is skipping, skipping a beat (Skipping a beat… skipping a beat…) [Bridge] [Music pulls back, highlighting vocals and heartbeat sound] One… last… push… and then it’s through… Nothing… left… for me… or you… Just a… flatline… where love… used to be… [Final Chorus] [Powerful and raw vocals with full instrumentation] My HEART is SKIPPING, SKIPPING A BEAT! This love is SLIPPING right through me! It’s getting hard to feel complete! My heart is SKIPPING, SKIPPING A BEAT! (SKIPPING A BEAT!) [Outro] [Music fades to just the piano motif and fading heartbeat] Skipping… skipping… Flatline… [Final sigh and silence]
