Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – soft, broken voice] I keep saying I’ll go home… but home doesn’t answer anymore Only the trains still whisper through the dark… and never for me [Verse 1] I remember mornings by the river’s edge Steam on the glass as we rushed through the fogged-up ledge The city would shake when the trains rolled in Like a heartbeat buried under London’s skin Underground lamps and the tunnel’s glow Oil-lit shadows where the people would flow “Mind the gap,” they’d say with a smile Like the world could break and still be worthwhile [Pre-Chorus] They told us not to look back too long But how do you leave when the place is gone? Not burned, not broken, not turned to dust Just emptied of everyone it used to trust [Chorus] I miss London like it’s still alive Like I could still catch the train at night Hear the steam breathe through iron and stone And feel like I was never alone But it’s quiet now in a way that hurts Like the city forgot what it used to be worth And I’m still here, but I don’t belong In a place that keeps pretending it’s not gone [Verse 2] I stand where the platforms used to shake Waiting for trains that will never wake The Underground lamps in a trembling line Throwing weak light through forgotten time Stations echo under lamp-lit gloom With voices that faded too soon from the room “Mind the gap,” but the gap is wide And nothing returns from the other side [Pre-Chorus 2] We don’t say her name out loud anymore But the silence remembers it more and more Every rail line under the broken sky Still thinks it’s time for another ride [Chorus] I miss London like it’s still alive Like I could still catch the train at night But the tracks lead nowhere I understand Just echoes passing through empty land And I carry it like a wound in my chest A city that never learned how to rest I’m still here, but I don’t belong In a place that keeps pretending it’s not gone [Bridge – almost spoken, fragile] Sometimes I hear it beneath my feet Like steel remembering every beat And I swear if I close my eyes too tight I can ride it back into the night But I open them and there’s nothing there Just lamp-lit shadows and broken air And “Mind the gap” comes back again Like the city is speaking through what was then [Final Chorus – soft, fading] I miss London like it’s still alive Like the trains still run through the night But the platforms are empty, the rails don’t sing And nothing returns when the tunnels ring So I walk through a city that used to be mine With a memory lost on a broken line I’m still here, but I don’t belong In a city that’s gone… but feels so strong
