Я все еще дышу

Intro, whispered
You’re gone...
But I’m here...
You’re gone...
I can breathe...

Quiet... quiet...
Don’t call me back...

Verse 1
You came into my life for a reason,
Not in passing, not for just a few days.
So certain, so tender, so reckless,
You turned into my deepest ache.

Your forgotten sweater in the half-light,
Dust settling on the worn-out sleeve.
I kept waiting for you to come back,
Whisper softly, “I was wrong to leave.”

Pre-Chorus
I was afraid to break the silence,
To touch the traces of your hands.
But every dawn dissolved the sorrow,
Blurring the circle where we used to stand.

And while the rain-soaked city
Faded underneath the silver rain,
I heard a voice inside me whisper,
“You are still your own again.”

Chorus
But you’re not here,
Only me and colors of the day.
Through this colder light,
I’m learning how to breathe without you.

And even though your shadow
Is still melting into me,
You helped me learn
To stop loving you in a single day.

Hook / Drop
You’re gone, but I’m here,
You’re gone, I can breathe.
Don’t call me back tonight,
I’m not there, not there.

Gone-gone... you’re gone...
Here-here... I’m here...
Gone-gone... you’re gone...
I can breathe...



Verse 2
I kept those unnecessary pictures,
Heard the old word “we” in letters read too much.
As if the scraps of yesterday’s affection
Could keep our unfinished dreams alive.

Half-drunk red wine beside the window,
A cigarette gone cold in the rain.
We said so much to one another,
But never said the words that mattered.

Now the glass holds nothing of you,
No name, no trace, no faded sign.
I don’t know when the change began,
But there are fewer chains inside.

Pre-Chorus
The cold of all the words unspoken
Ate through me slowly, deep within.
I lost myself a hundred times,
But now I choose the road I’m in.

Though freedom still feels unfamiliar,
Though something shakes inside my chest,
I walk across the midnight crossing
Into the first no that’s mine.

Chorus
But you’re not here,
Only me and colors of the day.
Through this colder light,
I’m learning how to breathe without you.

And even though your shadow
Is still melting into me,
You helped me learn
To stop loving you in a single day.

Hook / Techno Drop
You’re gone, but I’m here,
You’re gone, I can breathe.
My heart keeps time right here,
I don’t wait for you anymore.

Gone-gone... you’re gone...
Here-here... I’m here...
No-no... I won’t wait...
I can breathe...


gone / gone / gone
here / here / here
breathe / breathe / breathe

Bridge, cloud rap
For the hundredth time, I slid down the wall,
My heart on repeat: don’t wait, don’t call.
Your “forever” was only a sketch,
Rain washed it off my chest.

I gathered myself from shards of glass,
Every broken piece fell into place.
Where darkness lived, there is light now,
Where you once were, there is space.

You didn’t break me, I made it through,
I just took too long to know.
I held on to us until the end,
Now I let the whole thing go.

You’re gone...
But I’m here...
You’re gone...
I can breathe...

Break Before Final Chorus
Let the city inside me go quiet,
Let the rain erase every trace.
I did not become a stranger to myself,
I found my way back to the place where I am.

Final Chorus
You’re not here,
Only me and colors of the day.
With every new sunrise,
There’s less of you inside of me.

And less of me
Still waiting for you to return.
When silence turns to music
Instead of everything we lost,

I’ll say it with a smile:

“Thank you. I’m free at last.”

Final Hook, layered female harmonies
You’re gone, but I’m here,
You’re gone, I can breathe.
Don’t call me back tonight,
I’m not there, not there.

You’re gone, but I’m here,
In the dark, I find the light.
You were part of my life,
But you were never all of mine.

Gone-gone... you’re gone...
Here-here... I’m here...
Gone-gone... you’re gone...
I can breathe...

Outro, ethereal female vocal
Ooh-ooh-ooh...
Ah-ah-ah...

You’re gone...
But I’m here...

Ooh-ooh-ooh...
Ah-ah-ah...

I can breathe...
I can breathe...
I can breathe...
