Soft Collapse

Verse 1 (low, close)
I count the cracks in the ceiling
Like they’re reasons to stay
Every breath feels borrowed
Every word gets in the way

Pre-Chorus (rising)
I’m afraid of the silence
But the noise hurts too
I keep losing myself
Trying not to lose you

Chorus (high, airy)
I’m falling in a soft collapse
No ground, no safety net
If I break, let it be slow
I don’t want to forget
In the space between the chaos
And the person I used to be
There’s a fragile kind of hope
Still breathing quietly

Verse 2 (low)
I hold my voice back trembling
Like it might disappear
I’ve learned how to look okay
While I’m shaking in here

Pre-Chorus (lift)
I mistake the pain for meaning
Call the wound my only proof
That I ever felt alive
That I ever felt you

Chorus (high, emotional)
I’m falling in a soft collapse
Every wall is paper-thin
If I scream, I’ll whisper first
Let the quiet pull me in
Even broken, even scared
I’m still reaching out for peace
In this slow and silent fall
I’m becoming someone new

Bridge (mixed → high)
If I stop holding the pieces
Will I finally feel whole?
If I let my voice go higher
Will it save me or let go?

Final Chorus (contrast)
I was heavy, I was anchored
To the weight of all my fears
Now I’m floating through the wreckage
Still uncertain, still sincere
This collapse is not the ending
It’s the moment I can see
That the thing I’m losing now
Is the lie that I need to bleed

Outro (very soft)
I fall
But I stay
I break
But I breathe
