[ INTRO, Soft, Atmospheric, Spoken] [gentle pads, subtle vocal FX, heartbeat kick] [Vocals – soft and intimate] I was broken, lost in the noise Faking a smile, drowning the voice Of hope I once held in my hands... 'Til you reached out, I didn’t understand... --- [ BUILD, Rhythmic pad rise, kick builds] [Vocals – breathy, rising emotion] Darkness around me, nowhere to run But your light hit me like the morning sun Didn’t believe in fate, didn’t know grace But I found love… in a hard place --- [CHORUS, DROP 1 - Euphoric, Hands-in-the-Air] [Vocals – soaring, powerful, catchy hook] I was falling fast, couldn’t see the way You pulled me out like a tidal wave Didn’t think love could light this space But I found love in a hard place! HEARTS ON FIRE — can't look away You broke the walls I built in vain Dancing now where I felt pain — I found love in a hard place! --- [ POST-CHORUS, Instrumental Break – Manic Energy] [Synth arpeggios, big kick, filtered vocal chops:] "hard place... love..." --- [ VERSE 2, Uplifting groove, more rhythmic] [Vocals – confident, brighter tone] I see colors I never saw before You turned silence into something more Your heartbeat became my guide In the loudest world, you stayed by my side --- [PRE-CHORUS, More powerful] [Vocals – more intense build] I thought I’d never feel again But you touched the flame within Didn’t believe in fate, didn’t know grace But I found love… in a hard place --- [CHORUS, DROP 2 - BIGGER] I was falling fast, couldn’t see the way You pulled me out like a tidal wave Didn’t think love could light this space But I found love in a hard place! HEARTS ON FIRE — can't look away You broke the walls I built in vain Dancing now where I felt pain — I found love in a hard place! --- [ MID-BREAK, Instrumental + FX Vocal Build] [Synth break builds over glitch vocals:] “found love… in a hard place…” [ Epic filter sweep → drop into full explosion] --- [ FINAL CHORUS, DROP 3 - Max Energy, Festival Hands Up] We were stardust lost, now we're ablaze Crashing through the dark in a thousand ways Never thought I’d feel your grace — But I found love in a hard place! TAKE ME HIGHER — into the flame No fear, no tears, no shame This heart, reborn in your embrace — I found love in a hard place! --- [ EXTENDED OUTRO BREAK, Melodic + Emotional] [Strip it all back to a dreamy break with soft piano, strings, and subtle beat...] [Vocals – intimate, tender fade-out] You held my hand when the world went cold... And now I know… I’m not alone. I found love… In the hardest place of all.
