[Verse 1 — soft, trembling voice] I’ve been running in circles inside my own head, trying to understand the person that I am again. I gave you every part of me, every fear, every truth, and when you walked away, I swear you took the rest of me too. I stare at old photos like they’re still breathing, talk to my reflection like I’m trying to feel something. Every room feels colder since the day you left— I’m here, but I’m not… I’m a body, not a self. [Pre-Chorus — breathy, emotional] And I’m scared… ’cause I don’t recognize this version of me at all. [Chorus — pitched-up vox, glittery, emotional] Who am I without you? I’m holding my chest like it’s supposed to give answers. I’m breaking in half and I don’t know how to gather all the little pieces that you used to hold for me. Who am I without you? I’m trying to breathe but my soul keeps collapsing— you were the calm in every place I was crashing. Now I’m learning how to stand without your hands on me. [Verse 2 — faster, overwhelmed] I hate how I still wait for your messages to light my phone, like some part of me can’t accept that I’m alone. And when I try to move on, my chest fills with guilt, I built a future in my head and you were part of it all. I get jealous of the air that gets to touch you now, god, it kills me that you smile and I’m not the cause somehow. Everybody says “time heals,” but they don’t understand— it’s not about the love I lost, it’s the me I can’t find again. [Pre-Chorus — voice cracking] And I’m tired… of pretending I’m okay when I still fall apart. [Chorus — extra harmonies swelling] Who am I without you? I’m holding my chest like it’s supposed to give answers. I’m breaking in half and I don’t know how to gather all the little pieces that you used to hold for me. Who am I without you? I’m trying to breathe but my soul keeps collapsing— you were the calm in every place I was crashing. Now I’m learning how to stand without your hands on me. [Bridge — whispered, vulnerable, near-tears] I miss the little things— your voice saying my name like it mattered, your hands grounding me when I scattered. And I miss who I was with you— someone softer, someone certain, someone who wasn’t afraid of hurting… I’m still searching for him. [Final Chorus — emotional explosion, choral background] Who am I without you? I swear I’m trying but everything shakes inside me. I’m stitching myself but the scars still remind me of the version of love that I thought would never end. Who am I without you? I’m learning to breathe even when it’s not easy— I’ll find myself again, even if it breaks me… but I’ll never forget who I was when I loved you.
