(Intro – soft piano, distant reverb, slow) Mmm… Yeah… (Verse 1 – fragile, intimate) Your footsteps linger in the quiet of the floor, Like you’re on your way back through that open door. Your jacket’s still hanging where you left it last, A little reminder of a life that passed. I whisper to shadows just to hear a sound, But all they do is fold when I turn around. You slipped out of my nights like a fading tide, And I’m stuck tracing outlines where you once lied. (Pre-Chorus – trembling, slow rise) I keep trying to stand… But every move pulls me back again… (Chorus – soft but soaring, aching) ‘Cause you were everything, And losing you feels like losing my skin. I still see the colors you painted my sky, But morning hits hard when I open my eyes. Yeah, you were everything… And now I don’t know how to feel anything. (Verse 2 – reflective, aching) There’s a photograph sitting by the cracked window frame, Your laugh caught mid-breath, saying my name. Now sunrise falls flat where it used to glow, I’d trade every tomorrow for one yesterday I know. I replay the moments till my heartbeat stings, Searching for the second we unraveled things. If love was a fire, yours burned too fast, Left traces of promises turned into glass. (Pre-Chorus – whispered, unraveling) I’m learning to breathe… But every breath still drags you out of me… (Chorus – heavier, emotional) ‘Cause you were everything, And losing you feels like losing my skin. I still see the colors you painted my sky, But morning hits hard when I open my eyes. Yeah, you were everything… And now I don’t know how to feel anything. (Bridge – soft falsetto, trembling) Tell me how to forget when you haunt the dark, How do I move on from your fading mark? If I disappear, would you follow me through…? Or am I just a shadow reaching out to you… (Final Chorus – quiet, almost whispered) You were everything, And losing you feels like losing my skin. I still see the colors you painted my sky, But morning hits hard when I open my eyes. Yeah… you were everything… And now I don’t know how to feel anything. (Outro – piano + faint hum) Mmm… Everything… You were…
