When You Wake Up (Liam Payne Tribute V1)

Keep to the style of 1D's vocals and instrumentations but make the vocals female instead, singing in reverent, sorrowful, yet grateful tones

V6-MINI

[Pre-Chorus]
And the phone begins to vibrate on the nightstand screen,
A sudden flash of lightning in a dream.

[Chorus]
Everything disappears when you wake up,
The ground falls out from underneath your feet.
You're holding all the pieces of a broken cup,
Walking down an unfamiliar street.
The headlines scream a tragedy too real to touch,
While you were sleeping, everything went wrong.
They say we never appreciate it much
Until the boy who sang the chorus... is gone.

[Verse 2]
We used to play the records on a loop,
When seventeen felt infinite and grand.
Five faces smiling in a frozen group,
The sweet nostalgia of a boy band.
You grew up, and we grew up alongside you,
Chasing shadows down a different track.
You sang about how night-time changes, too—
Now it's a night we never can take back.

[Bridge]
A sudden jolt. A heavy breath.
A waking world that feels like death.
How can the sun still rise across the pane
When all the air is thick with sudden pain?
You were just a screen away, a voice, a name,
Now nothing in the afternoon is quite the same.
You were singing "Night Changes" years ago,
Now the night changed everything we thought we'd know.

[Guitar Solo – Slow, echoing, fading like a music box winding down]

[Outro]
Just a nap.
Just a quiet afternoon.
Then waking up to find out...
The song stopped way too soon.
Rest easy now.
Everything disappears...
When you wake up.
(Fade out on a quiet, lone piano chord)

[Verse 1] I closed my eyes for just a little while, Surrendered to the quiet of the afternoon. The room was still, the sunlight traced the tile, And normalcy was heavy in the June. Or maybe autumn—time was just a blur, A shifting shadow underneath the door. I didn't know the world had starts to stir, Or that I’d wake up missing something more. [Pre-Chorus] And the phone begins to vibrate on the nightstand screen, A sudden flash of lightning in a dream. [Chorus] Everything disappears when you wake up, The ground falls out from underneath your feet. You're holding all the pieces of a broken cup, Walking down an unfamiliar street. The headlines scream a tragedy too real to touch, While you were sleeping, everything went wrong. They say we never appreciate it much Until the boy who sang the chorus... is gone.
