(TRACK TITLE: “YOUR HANDS”) [INTRO] (slow cinematic piano / distant strings / tape hiss / breathy intimate vocal, close-mic and fragile; words linger behind the beat like fading memories) You moved me in the moment… You shifted what was inside… You grabbed my soul… You tore me from my life… [VERSE 1] What you left was a hole, Sadness untold. Parts that bled From places unheard. Voices screaming, Feelings absurd. Yet my heart kept beating, Still beating… Inside your hands… Your hands… My eyes don’t deceive me, Deceive me. I heard your voice— Start again. [PRE-CHORUS] The warmth pouring over me Felt like love, But I was deceived. I believed it was true… What was I supposed to do? Not knowing the depths You would go to… [CHORUS] (haunting layered harmonies / soft string swell / vocal rises but never fully breaks) Your hands… Your hands… They held my heart Like something sacred. Your hands… Your hands… And I believed You wouldn’t break it. Now every night I hear your name Like a prayer That lost its faith. Your hands… Your hands… Still reaching through me. [VERSE 2] Did you know then What we know now? Exactly how All of this Would go down? Did you care? Was it a game? Did I ever pulse Inside your veins? I know you did inside mine. You were the fruit Grown from my vine. The harvest I prayed for, Season by season. The taste of you Once sustained me. Now the sweetness Turns bitter. The scent of you Still makes me shiver. I can’t stand… And I know why. [PRE-CHORUS 2] Without you, Something died. Not my body— Just the part That thought love Would always survive. [CHORUS] Your hands… Your hands… They held my heart Like something sacred. Your hands… Your hands… And I believed You wouldn’t break it. Now every night I hear your name Like a prayer That lost its faith. Your hands… Your hands… Still reaching through me. [BRIDGE] (almost whispered / piano alone / breath audible between phrases) Love should be gentle. Love should be kind. But love was not What I would find. Can you hear me When I cry? Do you feel it When I try To escape The pain I feel? Tell me… Was any of it real? (brief instrumental pause) (deep inhale) (exhale) If I saw you now… Would I recognize The person I loved— Or the reason I survived? [FINAL CHORUS] (stronger drums enter / choir-like harmonies bloom beneath lead) Your hands… Your hands… They broke my heart, But couldn’t keep it. Your hands… Your hands… Left me shattered, Yet still breathing. Now every scar Reminds me why The broken survive What kills their pride. Your hands… Your hands… No longer hold me. [OUTRO] (fading piano / distant vocal doubles) You moved me in the moment… You shifted what was inside… You grabbed my soul… But somehow… I survived…
