[Intro – washed synths + soft vinyl hiss]
Mhm…
Still awake…
[Verse 1 – hushed, reflective]
The room feels wider than before,
Echoes pooling on the floor.
Your shadow lingers in the frame,
Even when I don’t say your name.
I leave the TV on for sound,
So silence doesn’t pin me down.
Funny how I miss the pain,
At least it meant you stayed.
[Pre-Chorus – echo lifting]
I tell myself I’m doing fine,
But the clock knows I’m lying.
[Chorus – restrained, aching]
I only break when the lights go low,
When there’s no one left to know.
I wear a smile through the day,
Then let it fall when I’m alone.
If loving you was letting go,
I learned it slow, I learned it cold.
I only feel you when the lights go low,
That’s when your memory shows.
[Verse 2 – heavier, inward]
Your name’s still saved inside my phone,
Like a door I won’t knock on.
Every street feels slightly wrong,
Like it knows you don’t belong.
I replay things I shouldn’t keep,
Conversations I repeat.
I don’t cry, I just fade,
Let the night take what it can take.
[Pre-Chorus – layered echoes]
I don’t chase what’s already gone,
I just wonder how you’re holding on.
[Chorus – fuller, echoing]
I only break when the lights go low,
When the world forgets my role.
I’m okay until I’m not,
Until I’m standing here alone.
If loving you was letting go,
I guess that’s something I was told.
I only feel you when the lights go low,
That’s when your memory shows.
[Bridge – stripped, emotional pause]
Maybe someday this won’t hurt,
Maybe silence won’t feel worse.
But tonight I let it stay,
I don’t push the ache away.
[Final Chorus – quiet resolve]
I only break when the lights go low,
When the past comes moving slow.
I don’t reach, I don’t call,
I just let the feeling go.
If loving you was letting go,
I’m still learning how it goes.
I only feel you when the lights go low,
Then I breathe and let it close.
[Outro – fading synths + echo]
Yeah…
Still here…
Still breathing…
