[Intro – Piano only] [FX: soft ambient swell fades in] [whispered breath in] [Verse 1] 🎙 Your arm draped over me like a shadow Eyes closed, but I know you're not asleep You're chasing ghosts in someone else's meadow While I'm just lying here pretending you see me [FX: soft vinyl crackle under vocals] [Pre-Chorus] 🎙 I breathe you in like it means something Let you trace the shape of nothing Call it love, though we both know I'm the silence after she let go [Harmony: soft female oohs echo “she let go”] [Chorus] 🎙 I know I’m not the name that’s echoing When you press your lips to mine I’m just the space between the suffering The pause in your decline I’m not the one you dream about But I still let you pull me close somehow I’m not Mrs. Right… I’m just Mrs. Right Now [FX: light reverb trail after “Now”] [Add subtle strings swelling underneath on final line] [Verse 2] 🎙 You say you’re trying hard to move forward But every kiss feels like goodbye And I keep holding on to borrowed moments Just to feel like someone’s still alive [FX: distant heartbeat, slow and soft] [Pre-Chorus] 🎙 You call me babe, but not like her There’s weight behind the way you hurt And I play pretend like it’s enough To be your stand-in version of love [FX: add layered breath, ghostlike harmony fades in and out] [Chorus – slightly more intensity, low strings join] 🎙 I know I’m not the name that’s echoing When you press your lips to mine I’m just the space between the suffering The pause in your decline I’m not the one you dream about But I still let you pull me close somehow I’m not Mrs. Right… I’m just Mrs. Right Now [Bridge – stripped piano + whisper FX] 🎙 And maybe that should break me But I’d rather ache than feel alone If your heart’s a house that’s empty At least I get to call it home... [FX: whispered echo: “...call it home”] [Optional: distant backing vocals with soft oohs] [Final Chorus – softest delivery, emotionally fragile] 🎙 I know I’ll never be the echo That lingers when you sleep But I’ll take what you can offer Even if it isn’t me I’m not the one you cry about But I’m the one who’s here right now I’m not Mrs. Right… I’m just Mrs. Right Now [FX: soft piano fade out, slow breath, silence] [End on single soft piano chord – no reverb, just clean]
