[Intro – Aria - female voice (soft, breathy)]
The light stays…
even when you’re gone
⸻
[Verse 1]
[Aria]:
There’s a warmth I didn’t notice
Till the silence settled in
Like your echo left a glow
On everything we’ve been
[Sera]:
I don’t reach for what is over
I don’t chase it back to life
But I feel it in the quiet
Like a shadow made of light
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
[Jaeha]:
It doesn’t hurt the way it used to
It just lingers, soft and low
[Nova]:
Like a memory with no edges
Like a place I used to know
⸻
[Chorus]
[All (soft harmonies)]:
In the afterlight, I see it
All the things we couldn’t be
Not in pieces, not in chaos
Just a faded clarity
[Minji]:
I don’t need to hold the feeling
I don’t need it to stay bright
[All]:
I just let it turn to something
Soft enough to leave behind
⸻
[Verse 2 – female voice]
[Sera]:
남겨진 건 아픔보다
조용한 온기뿐인 걸
[Aria]:
Like the last frame of a moment
That I didn’t know I’d miss
[Jaeha]:
흐릿해진 기억 속에도
빛은 아직 남아 있어
[Nova]:
It’s not gone, it just changed shape
Into something I can live with
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – female voice]
[Minji]:
붙잡지 않아도 괜찮아
흘러가게 두면 돼
[All (layered)]:
이젠 알아, 이 감정은
끝이 아닌 다른 phase
⸻
[Chorus]
[All]:
In the afterlight, I feel it
Not the same, but still it’s real
All the love we didn’t finish
Turns into something I can heal
[Aria (lead)]:
I don’t need a perfect ending
I don’t need to make it right
[All (harmonies swell)]:
I just carry what it gave me
Into softer, fading light
⸻
[Bridge – stripped, emotional lift]
[Nova]:
If I never see you again…
[Jaeha]:
It doesn’t mean you disappear
[Sera]:
You’re just part of how I’m breathing
[Aria]:
Part of why I’m still here
⸻
[Bridge – female voice (layered, cinematic)]
[All (soft, overlapping)]:
사라진 게 아닌 거야
다른 빛으로 남아
이 마음의 끝에서
다시 나를 비춰
⸻
[Final Chorus – full, then fade]
[All]:
In the afterlight, I see you
Not as loss, but as a trace
Every moment, every feeling
Settled gently into place
[Minji]:
No more questions, no more reaching
[Aria]:
No more needing it to stay
[All (soft, dissolving)]:
Just the glow of something passing
Lighting up a quieter way
⸻
[Outro – fading, layered whispers]
[Aria]: I’m still here…
[Sera]: 빛은 남아… (the light remains…)
[Jaeha]: It’s softer now…
[Nova]: I can breathe…
[Minji]: Let it go…
[All (final breath)]:
Afterlight…
