I watched you give your blood, sweat, tears, For a love that only brought you fears. I held your heart, but it was wrong, A cage I built, I kept you for too long. I see the scars beneath your smile, The weight of me, you carried all the while. You gave your soul, but it’s not fair, Now I’m the one who needs to care. Pre-Chorus I can’t pretend this love is right, I’m the shadow hiding in your light. The deeper you fall, the more I break, This is a bond we both can’t take. Chorus So I’ll let you go, though it breaks me apart, I’ll free the chains wrapped around your heart. I’m the poison, you deserve to heal, I’ll step away from the love unreal. Your blood, sweat, tears—I can’t take more, I’ll leave before I hurt you to the core. Verse 2 I gave you dreams dipped in sweet lies, But now I see the pain in your eyes. You held on tight, but I’m no muse, I’m the storm you didn’t choose. This love was fire, but it burned too wild, I can’t keep pretending I’m beguiled. You need the light I can’t provide, So I’ll let you go, I’ll step aside. Pre-Chorus I held the strings, but I’m cutting them now, I can’t keep you trapped—I’ll figure out how. Your love was pure, but I turned it dark, Now I’ll give you back your heart. Chorus So I’ll let you go, though it breaks me apart, I’ll free the chains wrapped around your heart. I’m the poison, you deserve to heal, I’ll step away from the love unreal. Your blood, sweat, tears—I can’t take more, I’ll leave before I hurt you to the core. Bridge You gave your all, but I couldn’t change, I loved you wrong, it felt so strange. I thought I’d save you, but I broke us both, Now I’m the one letting go of hope. Outro So take back your blood, sweat, tears, my love, Find your peace in the stars above. I’ll walk away, though it tears my soul, Because I want to see you whole. Your blood, sweat, tears—I’ll ask no more, I’ll leave before I hurt you to the core.
lternative R&B with Dream Pop Elements
English
The song evokes deep emotional complexity, characterized by themes of regret, heartbreak, and a desire for healing. It reflects the pain of recognizing one's own toxicity in a relationship and the painful yet necessary decision to let go for the sake of the other's well-being.
This song could be applied in scenarios of personal reflection, emotional healing, or during moments of letting go of unhealthy relationships. It resonates with those experiencing heartbreak and the bittersweet acknowledgment of love that has become harmful.
Musically, the track likely employs atmospheric elements typical of dream pop, such as ethereal synths, reverb-laden vocals, and perhaps a slow to mid-tempo rhythm that complements the emotive lyrics. The use of metaphoric language and vivid imagery creates depth, while the structure includes both pre-choruses and a bridge that build tension and resolution in the narrative.

"Golden Light (Pretending Not to Know)" (Inspired by the style of Jaded Fordo) Verse 1 Golden light falling like waves on the shore, Three years gone, still I want more. Your laugh echoes, but it’s not for me, I’m the ghost in your periphery. Six months of silence, no words to share, I’m reaching out, but you’re barely there. Every message, just a hollow reply, I’m a fool still asking why. Pre-Chorus And I see your heart in the distance, Fading like a dream, just a mere existence. Pretending not to feel the stories untold, A love that lingers, but never unfolds. Chorus Golden light, you’re my silent regret, A dream I can’t wake from, a love unmet. I’m drowning in the words I can’t ever say, Afraid you’ll just let me drift away. Golden light, you don’t even try, But somehow you keep me tied to the lie. That maybe, just maybe, you’d see me someday, But your silence keeps pushing me away. Verse 2 You walk through my mind like you own the place, But in real life, there’s no room for my face. I’ve been a shadow, always in the back, While your light’s on another track. The fear of rejection, it’s a heavy chain, But not knowing is driving me insane. I wonder if you even care I’m here, Or if I’m just another voice you barely hear. Pre-Chorus And I see your heart in the distance, Lost in the haze of my own persistence. Pretending I don’t care when I already know, I’m chasing a flame that refuses to glow. Chorus Golden light, you’re my silent regret, A dream I can’t wake from, a love unmet. I’m drowning in the words I can’t ever say, Afraid you’ll just let me drift away. Golden light, you don’t even care, But still, I’m caught in your golden snare. Three years gone, and I still can’t let go, Even though your silence tells me so. Bridge I built a world where you might stay, But it’s crumbling with each passing day. I’m a poet lost in my own disguise, Writing songs you’ll never realize. Chorus Golden light, you’re my silent regret, A dream I can’t wake from, a love unmet. I’m drowning in the words I can’t ever say, Afraid you’ll just let me drift away. Golden light, you don’t even try, But somehow you keep me tied to the lie. That maybe, just maybe, you’d see me someday, But your silence keeps pushing me away. Outro Golden light falling like waves on the shore, I know I can’t have you, but I want you more. Six months no talking, just a hollow hello, Pretending not to feel what I already know.

*Verse 1* In the silence, I hear your voice Whispers of memories, a haunting choice To hold on tight or let go free Echoes of you, stuck in me *Chorus* Echoes in my mind, shadows of the past Forever trapped, forever last Fading light, lost in time Your ghost, my heart, intertwined *Verse 2* Moonlit nights, we danced alone Stars aligned, our hearts made whole But now, the emptiness remains A hollow space, where love once sustained *Chorus* Echoes in my mind, shadows of the past Forever trapped, forever last Fading light, lost in time Your ghost, my heart, intertwined *Bridge* Maybe someday, I'll find my way Through the darkness, into a new day But till then, I'm stuck in this haze Forever chasing, fading phases *Outro* Echoes in my mind, whispers low Reminding me, of what we used to know A bittersweet refrain, forever in my soul Echoes of you, forever whole.
Tu te noies dans le passé Les parfums de ton enfance Tu sembles considérer Le présent sans importance Les parfums de ton enfance Mandarine, herbe coupée, Le présent sans importance Dérive loin de tes pensées Mandarine, herbe coupée, Souvenirs d'une innocence Dérive loin de tes pensées Effrayé par tant d'absence Souvenirs d'une innocence À jamais abandonnée Effrayé par tant d'absence Tu disparais à jamais

[Pre-Coro] En medio del caos, siento Tu luz, me dices que avance, que estás aquí tú. [Coro] Tú eres mi fuerza, mi paz en la tormenta, la llama que nunca se apagará. Aunque caiga mil veces, me levantaré, porque contigo siempre venceré. (Oh-oh, contigo siempre venceré).

Here’s the final combination of both the original romantic lyric **Verse 1:** Every moment, I steal a glance, Caught in the rhythm of your dance. There’s a pull, I can’t explain, A quiet ache that calls your name. And I know, that I need you tonight, The shape of you is all I see, it's like a firelight. Running away, I can’t ignore, The pull of you, I want more. **Pre-Chorus:** Stay with me, I feel the heat, In the chaos, our hearts still beat. One kiss, and I’m lost, I can’t deny, In your presence, I feel alive. I don’t need to speak, I just need to see, In your eyes, there’s a place for me. Like a dream I don’t want to wake, In your presence, I’ll always stay. **Chorus:** You’re the melody I can’t forget, A song in my heart, a perfect duet. You’re the storm that I’ve been waiting for, A red right hand pulling me to the floor. In the heatwaves, we find our way, With every glance, I know you’ll stay. Every step you take, my world aligns, In this quiet love, our hearts entwine. **Verse 2:** Hey mama, you’re the one I crave, Through the mockingbird’s song, my heart you save. I’m lost in the light of your grace, Wishing I could touch your face. Believer in this moment, I fall, Your touch, your smile, it says it all. **Pre-Chorus:** Stay with me, I feel the heat, In the chaos, our hearts still beat. One kiss, and I’m lost, I can’t deny, In your presence, I feel alive. I don’t need to speak, I just need to see, In your eyes, there’s a place for me. Like a dream I don’t want to wake, In your presence, I’ll always stay. **Chorus:** You’re the melody I can’t forget, A song in my heart, a perfect duet. You’re the storm that I’ve been waiting for, A red right hand pulling me to the floor. In the heatwaves, we find our way, With every glance, I know you’ll stay. Every step you take, my world aligns, In this quiet love, our hearts entwine. **Bridge:** And when the mockingbirds sing, I’ll chase you down, in everything. Heatwaves roll, but you’re still here, Through every doubt, I’ll keep you near. If only you could feel this too, The way I’m drawn to every move you do. A thousand words could never say, How you make me feel each passing day. **Outro:** Run away, stay close, don’t go, In the shape of you, I’m feeling the glow. Believer in the dark, where we collide, In your presence, I can’t hide. You’re the dream I’ve always known, In your arms, I’ll never be alone. A love so soft, yet so profound, With you, my heart is finally found.
