[Intro | Ambient | Piano | Minimal] ... [Verse 1 | Sad | Emotional | Melodic] I’ve been collapsing in the places no one sees, trying to stay standing while I’m breaking at the seams. Every night I tell myself you’re fine, you’ll heal in time, but the truth is I’m still choking on the words you left behind. I tried to find a reason for the way that it fell apart why hope turns into violence, why you vanished from my heart. I gave you all I carried, but you walked away untouched… and I’m left with all these ruins where our love once was enough. [Pre-Chorus | Lift | Rising Emotion] And I’m still reaching for a hand that’s never there. Still believing you'd return, that you’d care… [Chorus | Full Emotion | Soaring] Why do I love you? Why don’t you care? Why am I holding on to someone who isn’t there? Why is your face still a memory inside of me? Why did I think your love was ever meant for… me? [Verse 2 | Elevated | Melodic Confession] I still remember when you smiled in the fall your voice was soft, like you were finally giving life your all. But every truth you showed me had a darker mirrored side, and every word you whispered had a demon tucked behind. I know you had your reasons when you walked out in the night. You were reaching for a crown, for a different kind of life. I hope he keeps you steady, hope he helps you understand and I pray he shapes our child to be a better, stronger man. [Pre-Chorus 2 | Silent Tension to Chorus] But I still feel the fracture where you carved your absence deep, and I still wake up reaching for the love you didn’t keep. This isn’t anger, isn’t spite, it’s just a final quiet plea a eulogy you’ll never hear, a ghost you’ll never see. [Chorus 2 | Full Power | Wider Sound] Why do I love you? Why don’t you care? Why am I hoping for a heart that isn’t there? Why is your voice still hanging in my memory? Why did I think your love was ever meant for… me? [Bridge | Stripped | Emotional Collapse] If letting go was meant for me, then why does it hurt this much? ... If I was never worthy, why’d I ever call it love? (Why do I love yoooou?) (Why do I love yoooou?) [Instrumental Break | Emotional | Cinematic Swell] .... [guitars widen, drums lift, ambient wall of sound] [Final Chorus | Extended | Layered Vocals | Minimal Instruments] Why do I love you? Why don’t you care? Why am I clinging to a moment that isn’t there? Why is your face still memory inside of me? Why did I think your love was ever meant for… me? Why do I love you? Why don’t you care? Why am I hoping for a heart that isn’t there? Why is your voice still hanging in my memory? Why did I think your love was ever meant for… me? [Outro | Soft | Fragile | Fade Out] (for me… for me… for me…) Why do I love you…? (for me… for me… for me…) Why do I love you…?
