Love Starved

[Verse 1]
Love starved kid
Hungry in a full house
Favorite target
Bruises under hand-me-downs
“Stay home today”
So they wouldn’t see
I learned early
How to disappear
[Chorus]
You were my safety
You know what I’ve been through
Every cracked
Cruel word
Every empty room
You were my only hope
My one bright one
Now I hold the silence
‘Cause I got none
I got none
[Verse 2]
Missed those classes
Learned different lessons
How to read a mood
From the door’s first slam
You were that call
Ringing in the night
Soft “I’m here”
On the other side
[Chorus]
You were my safety
You know what I’ve been through
Every cracked
Cruel word
Every empty room
You were my only hope
My one bright one
Now I hold the silence
‘Cause I got none
I got none
[Bridge]
Who am I now
If I’m not saved
If you walk out
What’s left of me
Saying your name
Into the dark
Hoping it answers
Back like before (oh)
[Chorus]
You were my safety
You know what I’ve been through
Every cracked
Cruel word
Every empty room
You were my only hope
My one bright one
Now I stand here shaking
Calling you “home”
But I touch air only
‘Cause you are gone
And I got none

Slow, intimate pop ballad over soft piano and distant pads; male vocals raw and close-mic’d at first, almost whispered. Verse stays hushed with minimal chords and subtle sub-bass swells; chorus opens with warm synths, stacked harmonies, and a roomy snare. Bridge pulls back to near a cappella, then final chorus blooms with echoed ad-libs and a lingering, reverbed piano tail.
