Coldly sitting on the wooden table
Staring at the screen that never glows
The moon is the only witness tonight
To the shadow of a girl nobody knows
I wrap my arms around my knees and
Listen to the hum of the fridge
My fingers hover over your name
But the courage fades into the dark
The words I need to say are locked away
A silent flame without a single spark
I want to see you but I can't reach out
I want to tell you but the silence wins
Waiting in this room of hollow echoes
This is where the lonely night begins
A heart that's heavy with the things unsaid
Just a woman waiting for the dawn
Fearing that the love I hold so tight
Might already be long gone
Your scent is lingering on my old sweater
A phantom ghost that keeps me awake
I close my eyes and try to feel your touch
But the illusion is a heart-shaped ache
Every ticking second feels like a mile
In a house that's built of memories
The wind is whispering outside the glass
Asking why I'm sitting here so still
I have no answer for the empty air
I've lost the power and I've lost the will
I want to see you but I can't reach out
I want to tell you but the silence wins
Waiting in this room of hollow echoes
This is where the lonely night begins
A heart that's heavy with the things unsaid
Just a woman waiting for the dawn
Fearing that the love I hold so tight
Might already be long gone

Song Introduction: Echoes of an Empty Room
A night spent alone, embracing the "ghost of love" in a room ruled by silence.
A late-night moment spent staring at a dark screen and listening to the faint hum of the refrigerator. This work is an introspective ambient ballad that depicts a loneliness where one is nearly crushed by the weight of unspoken words amidst the hollow echoes of a room that feels far too large. The minimal sound produced by SUNO AI, where a cold atmosphere and heartache coexist, draws the listener into the depths of profound silence.
The greatest appeal of this track is the "sweet whisper voice" that expresses fragments of words fading away for lack of courage, sounding like breath itself. It poignantly portrays a figure chasing the "phantom ghost" of "your scent" lingering on an old sweater, closing their eyes to search for a warmth they cannot touch. The breathy vocals dramatically capture the fear of a love that drifts further away with every passing second and the helplessness of being able to do nothing but wait for the dawn.
"I want to see you, but I can't reach you. I want to say it, but silence wins." Carrying thoughts that are far too heavy, one can do nothing but sit in silence. As the night wind outside the window asks for a reason, this song gently stays by your side on a night spent trembling alone with unanswered questions.
