Feed the roots or watch it die

Verse 1: Love's a flicker, a shadow on the wall [soft fingerstyle guitar: A minor - E minor] Needs more than names to stand tall [bass: walking line, A - C - D - E] Blind eyes can't see what we let it be [piano: light, D minor - A minor - E minor] Chorus: Burns bright, then fades to gray In shadows we made, it slips away [vocal harmonies: soft, bluesy bends] Lost in dark, we search the truth In the ruins of our youth [guitar: slow strumming, A minor - G - F - E] Verse 2: Mistakes cut deep, carve our skin [soft fingerstyle guitar: A minor - E minor] In the heart’s fragile din [bass: walking line, A - C - D - E] Betrayal whispers low, in the night’s cold glow [piano: light, D minor - A minor - E minor] Chorus: Burns bright, then fades to gray In shadows we made, it slips away [vocal harmonies: soft, bluesy bends] Lost in dark, we search the truth In the ruins of our youth [guitar: slow strumming, A minor - G - F - E] Bridge: [violin: soft, mournful notes, legato, adding to the somber atmosphere] Love’s a garden in the rain, wilting in pain Feed the roots or watch it die, under a silent sky [vocal harmonies: layered, ethereal, E7 - A minor] Chorus: Burns bright, then fades to gray In shadows we made, it slips away [vocal harmonies: soft, bluesy bends] Lost in dark, we search the truth In the ruins of our youth [guitar: slow strumming, A minor - G - F - E] Outro: [guitar: gentle picking, A minor - E minor, fading out] [piano: final, unresolved chord, E minor] In ashes, memories lie, love's a flame we let die [soft, fading vocals, echoing into silence]
