**Title: "If I Can't Have You" (Horror Fiction)** **Verse 1** Footsteps whisper down the hall, Portraits turn to watch us fall. Candles flicker, windows cry, Something waits where shadows lie. **Pre-Chorus** Every promise carved in stone, Every heartbeat not my own. **Chorus** *"If I can't have you..."* the old house sings, A haunted echo with broken wings. Voices crawling through the walls, Answer every midnight call. No one leaves, the silence knows, Where the darkest ivy grows. **Verse 2** Dust remembers every name, Every soul that fed the flame. Mirrors smile a second late, Patient as they seal your fate. **Bridge** Don't believe the lullaby, It's the ghosts that hypnotize. Run before the candles fade, Before you're just another shade. **Final Chorus** *"If I can't have you..."* the darkness breathes, A curse alive beneath the leaves. Chains of whispers, eyes that gleam, Nothing here is what it seems. When the sunrise paints the sky, Only echoes still reply... **Outro** The house grows still. The door swings wide. No one knows... Who stayed inside.
