Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Your coat’s still on my chair Ashes on your lipstick glass One heel by the window Like you just slipped from the past [Chorus] Don’t say goodbye Just leave your shadow in the doorway Breathe in my sigh Let it pull you back the slow way If you have to go, then go But leave the bruise, leave the ache, leave it slow Don’t say goodbye Just let it die in the dark [Verse 2] Your laugh stuck in the curtains Your cologne in every room Every clock keeps asking Who will fill this hollow noon [Chorus] Don’t say goodbye Just leave your shadow in the doorway Breathe in my sigh Let it pull you back the slow way If you have to go, then go But leave the bruise, leave the ache, leave it slow Don’t say goodbye Just let it die in the dark [Bridge] You trace my wrist Counting all the times you missed (mm) Say it soft, say it wrong Say it once, then you’re gone [Chorus] Don’t say goodbye Just leave your shadow in the doorway Breathe in my sigh Let it pull you back the slow way If you have to go, then go But leave the bruise, leave the ache, leave it slow Don’t say goodbye Just let it die in the dark (so dark)

jazz, Slow, late-night jazz ballad; brushed piano chords and warm upright bass in a hush. Female vocals smoky and close-miked, almost whispering. Tempo languid, with space between phrases; subtle swells into each chorus. Occasional soft cymbal kisses and a muted horn pad in the bridge to deepen the mood, then a stripped-back final chorus that feels like an exhale., slow, minimal, ballad, breathy
