What You Did

V5.5

Lyrics field: [Intro, simple clean guitar melody, low warm bass, ambient bed, no drums] [Verse 1, close female vocal, quiet and controlled] I knew the sound of your key I knew the weight of your steps I knew the side of the bed Where I could turn and forget I used to sleep without thinking I used to leave myself there Then something changed in the morning And I was suddenly aware [Pre-Chorus, soft bass moves, no big lift] You said love Like it covered what you did But love is not a blanket You can throw over it [Chorus, restrained but cutting] I am not yours Not like that anymore Not in the dark Not behind a closed door I am not yours To hold when I am gone I woke up inside myself And I am moving on [Verse 2, brushed drums enter very lightly] You made the house feel smaller You made my voice feel thin You made me check my own face For the woman I had been You wanted dinner normal You wanted morning kind You wanted me to carry it And never call it mine [Pre-Chorus, slightly more pressure] You said don’t make this ugly But it already was The moment I went quiet To survive someone I loved [Chorus, fuller but still intimate] I am not yours Not like that anymore Not in the dark Not behind a closed door I am not yours To hold when I am gone I woke up inside myself And I am moving on [Middle Section, stripped back, guitar and voice] I will not explain my leaving To make you feel less wrong I will not soften the ending So you can sing along There are things a heart remembers Even when the mouth forgives There are nights that end a marriage While the body still lives [Short Instrumental, clean guitar melody repeats, subtle strings rise and fall, no solo shredding] [Bridge, vocal firmer, drums slowly return] I took my name from your hands I took my breath from the room I took the part you buried And carried her out too [Final Chorus, light layered vocal only here, emotional but controlled] I am not yours Not like that anymore Not in the dark Not behind a closed door I am not yours To hold when I am gone I woke up inside myself And I am moving on I am not yours No matter what you say Some doors do not reopen Once safety walks away [Outro, return to simple guitar melody, bass fades, subtle strings dissolve, no new lyrics, small-room ending]
