Lyrics

[Intro - Synth, Tension Building]
[Verse 1]
I drew the curtains back before she woke
And set the table long before the light
I learned the language underneath her silence
I memorized the architecture of her night
The doors were open — every one unlocked
The hallways lit from end to end in white
I left no corner where a shadow fell
I gave her everything in plain sight
[Chorus]
Every map was drawn, every road was named
Every window polished, every candle flamed
Every shelf was full, every glass was poured
She stood in the middle and whispered — more
[Verse 2]
I built the garden she described in passing
I hung the paintings where she said they'd go
I read the books she left beside the bathtub
I learned the songs she used to love below
The rooms were warm and catalogued and still
The walls had nothing left for her to know
She walked through slowly like a visitor
Through someone else's house on Sunday's show
[Chorus]
Every map was drawn, every road was named
Every window polished, every candle flamed
Every shelf was full, every glass was poured
She stood in the middle and whispered — more
[Bridge - Darker, Building]
A bird won't sing inside a gilded room
A river doesn't run without a stone
The compass spins when north is everywhere
She packed her things and said she felt alone
I handed her the last key on the ring
She set it on the table by the door
And said the strangest thing I'd ever heard
You gave me everything — I wanted more
[Instrumental Break - Heavy Bass and Synth]
[Verse 3 - Quieter, Resigned]
The house is quiet now and fully lit
The garden blooms for no one walking through
The paintings hang exactly where she pointed
The books are read, the songs are sung on cue
I stand in rooms that echo with completion
A finished man inside a finished frame
The only thing I never gave her was
A single door she had to open on her own
[Final Chorus - Slower]
Every map was drawn, every road was named
Every window polished, every candle flamed
Every shelf was full, every glass was poured
She's gone — and she took nothing but the more
[Outro - Fading]
The compass spins
When north is everywhere
[End]
