[Intro – In-Song Prompt]

[Soft electric guitar arpeggio with heavy reverb, light cymbal swells, intimate vocal entrance]

[Verse 1]

You say my name like it’s just a memory
Like it don’t burn your tongue
Standing there with your crystal eyes
Like I’m the only one

But I saw the way you turned away
When the truth began to rise
You hold your love like a polaroid
And you’re scared to feel inside

[Pre-Chorus – In-Song Prompt]

[Bass enters, gentle drum kick, tension building harmonies]

You can run to the edge of the night
You can swear that you’re finally free
But every road you’re driving down
Is gonna wind back to me

[Chorus – In-Song Prompt]

[Full drums, layered harmonies, soaring vocal delivery, shimmering electric guitar swells]

You’ll see my ripples in the water
Hear my voice in the pouring rain
Every dream that you awaken from
Will scream my name

Oh, you can try to forget it
Say it never was real
But you’ll hear me in the silence
And it's a wound that just won’t heal

[Verse 2 – In-Song Prompt]

[Pull back slightly, steady groove, intimate vocal phrasing]

I was fire in your beating heart
I was the breath within your lungs
You were trembling like a little kitten
And totally, completely smitten

You built your walls out of promises
You let them crumble apart
Now you’re staring at your reflection
And I’m still right there in your heart

[Pre-Chorus]

And you can hide in a stranger’s arms
You can drown in the midnight dew
But the stranger that you’re dancing with
Is a cheap version of me and you

[Chorus – In-Song Prompt]

[Bigger harmonies, stronger drums, emotional peak building]

You’ll see my ripples in the water
Hear my voice in the pouring rain
Every dream that you awaken from
Will scream my name

Oh, you can swear that you don’t miss me
Say it’s finally done
But I’ll live rent free in your head
Long after you have run

[Bridge – In-Song Prompt]

[Drop to piano and vocal, gradual explosive build, emotional belt at climax]

Time won’t save you, lover
It won’t wash me away
You can curse my name in the daylight hours
And I’ll haunt your nights the same

And when you’re tired of pretending
When the truth finally cuts through
You’ll remember the only thing
That was ever true

[Final Chorus – In-Song Prompt]

[Full instrumentation, layered harmonies, dramatic vocal runs, emotional climax]

You’ll see my ripples in the water
Feel my hands upon you in the dark
Every road that you may wander
Leads straight back to my heart

Oh, you can try to forget me
Cross every sea
But wherever you’re going
You’ll be carrying me

[Outro – In-Song Prompt]

[Instrumental swell, repeated soft vocal ad-libs, fading guitar echoes]

(You’ll see me… in the water…)
(You’ll hear me… in the rain…)

[Slow fade out with reverberating guitar and harmonies]
