Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I gave you the summer

All the soft parts of my name

You packed just your silence

Left your sweater, took my flame

I folded on the floorboards

Hands shaking like old glass

Watched the door stay empty

As the years crawled past

[Chorus]

You were my once-in-a-lifetime, baby

I never was that for you

I fell into a grave I’d made of

Every almost, every “soon”

I loved you then

I love you now

It doesn’t make me break somehow

I stand firm, I stand strong

I stand alone

(stand alone anyway)

[Verse 2]

Lived in a low room

Curtains closed at noon

Friends knocking, phone buzzing

I let it all bruise

Dug through every memory

Like a miner out of air

Found a little light in me

You had never put there

[Chorus]

You were my once-in-a-lifetime, baby

I never was that for you

I fell into a grave I’d made of

Every almost, every “soon”

I loved you then

I love you now

It doesn’t make me crawl back down

I stand firm, I stand strong

I stand alone

(stand alone anyway)

[Bridge]

If you turned up at my doorway

With your old half-hearted smile

I would feel my ribcage shudder

But I’d only stay a while

You’re still written in my story

Ink that never fully dries

But I’ve learned to hold that heartbreak

Like a weight that makes me rise

[Chorus]

You were my once-in-a-lifetime, baby

I never was that for you

I walked out of the grave I’d made and

Left the flowers there for you

I loved you then

I love you still

But it’s my heart, it’s my will

I stand firm, I stand strong

I stand alone

(stand alone, stand alone)

I stand firm, I stand strong

I stand alone

(and I still love, I still love)

moody alt-pop ballad with female vocals; intimate piano and distant pads in the verseslow pulsing bass under a spacious beat in the chorus. vocal starts close-mic and fragilethen grows into a soaringgritty belt by the final hook. subtle reverse swells and filtered drum builds deepen the dark-to-empowered arcwith layered harmonies on the last chorus for catharsis.strongdeepenglish

Prompt

a once-in-a-lifetime love that was never reciprocated. she left, I crumbled. Deep, dark pit for years. I dug my way out, and though I still love, I stand firm, I stand strong, I stand alone. Female
