Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro: Whispered vocals, layered softly, like breathing in slow motion] [mm... mm-hmm...] [soft inhale] [just the piano, one note at a time...] --- [Verse 1: Soft, close-mic vocals with a cracked edge] [Am] Curtains fall but I still see [F] Your shadow laying next to me [C] Air still cold where you used to be [G] But I talk like you're not gone [Am] Used to dance with all the lights off [F] Now the silence plays our song [C] I breathe in, but it's all wrong [G] You're a ghost and I'm the haunt --- [Pre-Chorus: Vocals start to layer with ghostly harmonies, rising slowly] [Dm] We were fire [Am] Burned too low [G] Now I'm standing [F] In your echo --- [Chorus: High breathy falsetto layered with soft harmonies, piano opens slightly] [C] This empty room still feels like you [Am] The cracks you left are bleeding through [F] I close my eyes and fall right in [G] To every place we've ever been [Em] If love could kill, I’d die again [F] Just to feel you crawl beneath my skin [Am] But you're gone and I'm still blue [G] In this empty room --- [Verse 2: Lower register, whispered pain] [Am] You said nothing lasts forever [F] But I didn't think you meant [C] We'd be strangers sewn together [G] In a past I can't forget [Am] Your hoodie still hangs on the door [F] Like you're coming back for more [C] But I know you won't [G] And I can't close that drawer --- [Pre-Chorus: Half-sung, half-spoken, emotionally trembling] [Dm] I still wear [Am] What you gave [G] Like it might [F] Keep you safe --- [Chorus: Repeated with added harmony on each final line] [C] This empty room still feels like you [Am] The cracks you left are bleeding through [F] I close my eyes and fall right in [G] To every place we've ever been [Em] If love could kill, I’d die again [F] Just to feel you crawl beneath my skin [Am] But you're gone and I'm still blue [G] In this empty room --- [Bridge: Distant reverb on vocals, minimal piano, heartbeat-like sub-bass] [Em] I keep your name in my mouth [F] Like a prayer I never speak out [Am] It hurts less when I pretend [G] That endings don’t exist [Whispered layered vocals: "Don’t exist, don’t exist, don’t exist..."] --- [Final Chorus: Stripped to just voice and keys, no harmonies until last line] [C] This empty room still feels like you [Am] The air still whispers what we knew [F] I close my eyes and call your name [G] But silence answers just the same [Em] If grief is love we never spent [F] Then I’m the debt, and you're the end [Am] I’d fall apart just to feel new [G] But I'm still here... [Am] In this empty room --- [Outro: Instrumental only — sparse piano, reversed guitar fading out, single breath]
