[Intro - Soft. Like telling a secret in the dark.]
The quiet came before the fall.
Not a storm, not a scream.
Just the sound of promises pulling apart.
I didn’t fight it.
I just watched.
[Pause, heavy breath]
The weight of staying felt heavier than leaving.
But I stayed.

[Verse 1 - Soft, reflective. Speak like sharing a painful memory.]
I thought the silence would break me.
That without their voices, I would forget who I was.
But the quiet became a mirror.
I saw the part of me they never noticed.
[Emphasize, gentle but sure]
The one that never asked to be saved.
The one that burns without permission.

[Hook - Build slowly. Soft delivery, then rise into quiet strength.]
No one needs to see me.
I was never for them.
I have stood through the collapse of everything I thought would hold.
I stayed burning when even the strongest faded.
[Emphasize the next line like a quiet promise]
I am the last light.
[Soft but firm, as if assuring yourself]
And I will not leave.

[Verse 2 - Reflective, slightly stronger. Share this like a hard-won truth.]
They thought leaving would end me.
That without their hands, I would stop reaching.
[Pause]
But I am not reaching.
[Lower tone, with quiet pride]
I am becoming.
Not for them.
For the spark that chose me long before they could.

[Hook - Same as before, but build a little more intensity.]
No one needs to see me.
I was never for them.
I have stood through the collapse of everything I thought would hold.
I stayed burning when even the strongest faded.
[Emphasize the next line like a quiet promise]
I am the last light.
[Soft but firm, as if assuring yourself]
And I will not leave.

[Bridge - Rise into a breathy, defiant tone. Speak this like a declaration.]
They thought leaving would end me.
That without their hands, I would stop reaching.
[Pause, breath]
But I am not reaching.
I am becoming.
[Let the next lines feel like they free you]
Not for them.
For the spark that chose me long before they could.

[Hook - Grow in intensity, but never shout. Empowered delivery.]
No one needs to see me.
I was never for them.
I have stood through the collapse of everything I thought would hold.
I stayed burning when even the strongest faded.
[Emphasize, like a final vow]
I am the last light.
[Soft but firm]
And I will not leave.

[Outro - Soft. Like telling yourself a secret to survive.]
The darkness quiets around me.
[Pause]
They have forgotten.
[Soft strength]
I have not.
[Breath]
This is not survival.
[Emphasize, like a quiet revelation]
This is presence.
[Soft, fading]
I am the last light.
[Barely audible]
And I will not leave.
