[Intro, Haunting piano, Distant whispers] (Whispers in the dark…) I was your echo But he was your voice [Verse 1, Dark melody, String pads] You held me close with hollow hands Your eyes lost in far-off lands You spoke my name like it was pain But his name fell like summer rain [Pre-Chorus, Swelling strings, Emotional build] I begged the night to steal you back From dreams that led you off the track But I was just a borrowed flame You kept alive to numb your shame [Chorus, Heavy guitars, Soaring vocals] You love him while I fade A ghost in your masquerade I scream but you don’t hear Drowning in this cage of fear We were ashes, not a spark And I’m breaking in the dark This love was never right I’m fading from your light [Verse 2, Piano + cello] You kissed my scars, but healed none You stayed until the damage was done He’s the light that warms your bones I’m the shadow you leave alone [Pre-Chorus, Rising storm of strings] I tried to bloom inside your grief But wilted in disbelief He owns the rhythm of your soul While I fall through what you stole [Chorus, Explosive guitars, Power vocal] You love him while I fade A ghost in your masquerade I scream but you don’t hear Drowning in this cage of fear We were ashes, not a spark And I’m breaking in the dark This love was never right I’m fading from your light [Bridge, Symphonic break, Whispered vocals] (Burn it down… let it die…) (I was never yours to keep…) (Still I bleed… still I cry…) [Chorus, Final burst, Full orchestration] You love him while I fade A ghost in your masquerade I scream but you don’t hear Drowning in this cage of fear We were ashes, not a spark And I’m breaking in the dark This love was never right I’m fading from your light [Outro, Soft piano, Echoes] I’m fading… Fading… From your light…
