Ghosts don’t cry

[INTRO, 8 bars – ambient]
[Soft piano, distant pad, reversed FX]
[Breathy vocal ad-libs, no lyrics]

[VERSE 1]
[Minimal pluck, light sub, intimate vocal]
I’m standing in the places we used to be
Talking to shadows that sound like me
Your name is stuck inside these walls
But you don’t hear me when I call

[PRE-CHORUS]
[Bass pulse builds, filtered drums]
I scream in silence, you’re already gone
I fade to nothing when the lights come on
[short pause]

[DROP 1 / CHORUS]
[Emotional melodic drop, vocal chop lead]
Ghosts don’t cry…
[vocal chop repeats]
But I still do

[VERSE 2]
[Add harmony, slightly fuller groove]
You look right through me like I’m not there
I’m just a memory you don’t care
I learned to breathe without a sound
Guess that’s how ghosts survive now

[PRE-CHORUS]
[More tension, risers, open filter]
I’m stuck between what was and what’s real
You moved on, but I still feel

[CHORUS, VOCAL and DROP]
[Lead melody and full vocal]
Ghosts don’t cry, they just disappear
I’m still here, drowning in the fear
You let go like it was nothing new
Ghosts don’t cry… but I still do

[BREAKDOWN / BRIDGE]
[Piano and vocal only, very emotional]
If I vanish, would you notice now?
Or was I gone when you turned around?

[FINAL DROP]
[Biggest energy, wide lead, soft choir pads]
Ghosts don’t cry…
[echoed]
But I still do, still do

[OUTRO]
[Strip back to piano and pad]
Ghosts don’t cry…

Emotional EDM-pop with cinematic drops, soft piano, airy plucks, haunting vocals, minimal verses, highly melodic breaks
