[Intro, Distant Echoes + Broken Music Box Melody] (Whispered) She didn’t wait She just rewrote the script [Verse 1] A veil slips down like a sigh Caught in the throat of goodbye Ghostlight stains her silhouette The vow unspoken, still wet Cigarette burns in slow revolt She flicks the ash on what they wrote Yellow flowers, limp with grief She clutches both belief and thief [Pre-Chorus] No one came, and still she bloomed A bridal hymn in an empty room [Chorus] Chrysanthemums in the ashtray Mascara smeared like warpaint She’s not crying, she’s creating A softer end to the masquerade She lit the past with her cigarette A runaway wrapped in silhouette Chrysanthemums in the ashtray And not a single regret [Verse 2] She walks through the reel of a myth A frame that once held bliss The silence hangs like lace undone She’s not the bride — she’s the sun Yellow lenses blur the lines Of all the worlds she left behind Lipstick bleeding into fate Every kiss now carries weight [Pre-Chorus] The altar never held her name But still she danced through all the flames [Chorus] Chrysanthemums in the ashtray Mascara smeared like warpaint She’s not crying, she’s creating A softer end to the masquerade She lit the past with her cigarette A runaway wrapped in silhouette Chrysanthemums in the ashtray And not a single regret [Bridge, Haunting Strings + Low Synth Rise] No vows, no veil, just breath and ash Tradition broke, and she laughed In the ghostlight of what was “meant” She found herself — incandescent [Final Chorus, Swelling + Distant Harmonies] Chrysanthemums in the ashtray The petals curled, the smoke stayed She never asked for this stage But played the truth with grace She lit the past with her cigarette A runaway wrapped in silhouette Chrysanthemums in the ashtray And still, not one regret [Outro, Ambient Fade, Repeated Whispered Line] (Not a single regret... not a single regret...)
