Prompt / Lyrics
[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…
