[INTRO — whispered, atmospheric synths and faint heartbeat]

I don’t recognize this feeling.
I don’t recognize this face.
I’ve been standing in the same room,
but something’s out of place.

[Pause — almost spoken]

Is this what changing feels like?
Or am I just waking up?

[VERSE 1 — intimate vocals, subtle pulse building]

I wore your words like second skin,
let them tell me who I’d been.
Every mirror held a version
I was trying to fit in.

Now the glass is getting blurry,
there’s a stranger looking through.
And the more I try to find myself,
the less I look like you.

[PRE-CHORUS — rising tension, drums enter]

I’ve been running in a circle,
I’ve been reaching for the past.
Trying to become somebody
I was never meant to last as.

Something’s moving underneath me.
Something’s pulling me apart.
I can feel the old me fading,
but I don’t know who you are—

[HARD CUT — silence]

[CHORUS — explosive drums, deep bass, wide synths]

I LOST YOU—

[Silence]

BUT I FOUND ME.

Somewhere in the wreckage,
somewhere underneath.
I was looking for an ending,
you were only one of three
million different ways
that I could learn to breathe.

I lost you—
BUT I FOUND ME.

Now there’s someone in the mirror
who looks nothing like the old me.
Same sky above my head,
but a different gravity.

I lost you—
BUT I FOUND ME.

[POST-CHORUS — heavy electronic drop]

Found me, found me,
on the other side.
Found me, found me—
I was never gone,
just out of sight.

[VERSE 2 — confident, driving beat]

There’s a door I never noticed
at the end of every hall.
I spent so long against the walls
I never tried to leave at all.

Now the floor beneath me’s moving,
and the ceiling’s opening wide.
I don’t know what’s waiting for me,
but I’m done asking why.

I don’t need to hate the person
who I was when you were here.
I can hold the good and bad
without inviting back the fear.

And the strangest part of leaving
isn’t watching something end—
It’s discovering all the places
I can go without pretending.

[PRE-CHORUS 2 — bigger build]

I’ve been running from the feeling,
now I’m letting it arrive.
There’s a pulse beneath the silence.
There’s a world on the other side.

Maybe I was never broken.
Maybe I was changing shape—

[BEAT STOPS — spoken]

I don’t miss who I became
trying to make us stay.

[CHORUS 2 — bigger harmonies, heavier drums]

I LOST YOU—
BUT I FOUND ME.

Somewhere in the wreckage,
somewhere underneath.
I was looking for an ending,
you were only one of three
million different ways
that I could learn to breathe.

I lost you—
BUT I FOUND ME.

Same sky above my head,
but a different gravity.
I lost you—
BUT I FOUND ME.

[POST-CHORUS — massive electronic drop]

Found me, found me,
on the other side.
Found me, found me—
I was never gone,
just out of sight.

[BRIDGE — floating vocals, beat disappears]

What if I’m not who I was?
What if that’s alright?
What if losing what I knew
is how I learn to see the light?

What if there’s no final version,
no one I’m supposed to be?
What if every time I change,
I meet another part of me?

I thought the end would look like darkness.
I thought I’d feel the ground give way.
But nobody told me
that the other side
could feel like space.

[LONG PAUSE — everything cuts out]

[FINAL BUILD — heartbeat returns]

I lost you—
I lost the person
I thought I’d always be.

I lost you—
And for the first time,
there was room enough for me.

[COMPLETE SILENCE — whisper]

BUT I FOUND ME.

[FINAL CHORUS — maximum vocal power, cinematic drums]

I LOST YOU—
BUT I FOUND ME!

No more trying to fit
inside the shape you left in me.
I’m not who I was before,
I’m not who I’m supposed to be.

I’m a thousand open doors
and every possibility.
I lost you—
BUT I FOUND ME!

Same sky above my head,
but now I move differently.
All the things I couldn’t see
are finally in front of me.

I lost you—
BUT I FOUND ME!

[FINAL DROP — overwhelming electronic production]

FOUND ME!
FOUND ME!
ON THE OTHER SIDE!

FOUND ME!
FOUND ME!
I’M ALIVE IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT!

[OUTRO — no drums, one distant synth]

I look into the mirror.
I don’t look away.
I don’t know this person,
but I think I’ll let them stay.

[Long pause]

Same sky.
Different me.

[Whisper]

Hello, stranger.
It’s nice to meet me.
