Promise Me (intimate)

[Intro: Soft ambient synths, distant guitar] [Verse: Intimate, breathy vocals] [Chorus: Swelling strings, emotional] [Outro: Fade out, final whispered line] (Verse 1) I stopped looking for a ghost in every crowd I stopped trying to shout your name out loud Before we even met, I was tracing lines Of a story that I knew would match with mine I don't need the pages where you learned to fall I just want the hand that’s gonna hold it all. (Chorus) So tell me I’ll be the last one in your life The steady rhythm in the middle of the strife I don’t care if I’m not the first one there As long as I’m the gold you get to wear Just promise me, when the lights begin to fade I’m the last love that you ever made In this lifetime, let me be the last. (Verse 2) There’s a power in the way the day is done A quiet triumph when we’ve finally won Every "almost" and every "might have been" Led us to this moment where the real begins Keep the memories of the sparks that didn't stay I’m the one who’s never gonna walk away. (Bridge) (Beat kicks up, warm atmospheric synths) Let the past be the prologue, let the credits start to roll You’re the final chapter, the piece that makes me whole No more searching, no more running from the dark We finally found the finish, and it’s our favorite part. (Chorus) Tell me I’ll be the last one in your life The steady rhythm in the middle of the strife I don’t care if I’m not the first one there As long as I’m the gold you get to wear Just promise me, when the lights begin to fade I’m the last love that you ever made In this lifetime, let me be the last. (Outro) Yeah, just the last one... The one who stayed. (Final piano chord fades out)
