Intro (Melancholic, slow piano. Ambient city sounds in the distance: faint sirens and wind). Verse 1 (Him - Soft, observant voice) I walk through the veins of this cold city light, Learning a language that never felt right. I’m just the shadow that leaves not a trace, A man with no name, just a ghost in this place. But there you were, standing right on the edge, Shining so bright, on the lip of the ledge. Verse 2 (Her - Subtle vocal harmony enters) Your face on the billboards, your voice on the air, A cry for some help while the whole world just stares. Eyes made of glass looking down at the street, The "golden girl" crushed by the weight of defeat. I reached out not knowing that heights bring such pain, That the weight of the world washed your colors to gray. Pre-Chorus (Crescendo: Rhythmic kick drum pulse) You dropped the microphone, sought out the ground, A tired angel who wants to be found. And on that rooftop, time seemed to freeze... My hand on your back brought your heart to its knees. Chorus (Epic explosion - heavy percussion) And you’re not the star that they all come to see! You’re just a girl crying silently. I’ll be your shadow, your shield, and your light, The one who keeps secrets away from the night. If the world tries to push, I’ll be holding you tight, Your guardian here in the dark of the night. So ordinary, but safe as we go! (Under this sky that has left us below). Verse 3 (The connection - Stronger rhythm) You hide the wound that nobody can heal, I hide my face from everything real. Worlds far apart, tied by thin silver threads, Looking for shelter, just trying to live. I don’t need to know where you’re planning to go, Just take a step back from the edge of the show. Bridge (Emotional climax - Gritty voice, maximum intensity) (Music drops to a whisper, then explodes with violins and heavy drums) Kill all the lights! Let the curtains just fall! Your life is worth more than the fame of it all! Scream if it hurts, 'cause I’m standing right here! Hidden in shadows, I’ll face every fear! Tell them you’re not... you’re not giving in! Outro (Piano solo, very intimate) The city’s below, unaware of this spark. Two broken pieces... At peace in the dark. I’ll be your shadow. You’ll be my light.
