[Intro: Tremolo strings, distant accordion, muted brass swells] [Verse 1] Cobblestones remember your footfall I trace them barefoot, though the night is cold The Seine still hums our lullaby But you don’t answer—never will [Verse 2] That night your pulse was too close, too bright Like candle-flame against my palm I meant to kiss, not take your breath Now every dawn is just a wound [Pre-Chorus] I counted centuries in falling leaves But none could bury what I’ve done [Chorus] I HOLD YOUR NAME LIKE BROKEN GLASS! IT CUTS ME STILL, BUT I WON’T LET GO! You were my only human grace Now I am night, and you—just snow [Inst: Accordion solo over weeping strings] [Verse 3] Your portrait fades, but not your eyes They watch me feed on strangers’ veins Their warmth is ash, their voices wrong No one laughs like you in rain [Pre-Chorus] The moon repeats its hollow tune A silver lie I can’t outrun [Chorus] I HOLD YOUR NAME LIKE BROKEN GLASS! IT CUTS ME STILL, BUT I WON’T LET GO! You were my only human grace Now I am night, and you—just snow [Bridge: Strings drop to single cello, sparse accordion] (whispered) Forgive me… or forget me… Either way, I’m left alone [Chorus] I HOLD YOUR NAME LIKE BROKEN GLASS! IT CUTS ME STILL, BUT I WON’T LET GO! You were my only human grace Now I am night, and you—just snow [Outro: Tremolo strings fade, single accordion note lingers] (softly, fading) Just snow… Just snow…
