[Intro]
Soft keys, distant rain, a single hi-hat ticking
Whisper: I can't sleep without you — listen.
[Verse 1]
Midnight coffee cold on the windowsill (steam gone)
Your perfume on my jacket — memory's dawn
Phone lights a blue line, your name I still ignore
That old ringtone hangs like a map of what we wore
[Pre-Chorus]
Every small sound pulls me closer to the past
Heartbeat on repeat, praying this won't be my last
[Chorus]
Can't sleep without you — bring your smile back (bring it back)
Can't breathe without you — pull me from the black
I need the daylight where your laughter used to lie
I wanna see you smiling every day of my life
[Verse 2]
Pavement prints of us fade on rainy streets
Your laugh in tin cups, cold spoons and late receipts
I keep the letter folded where the light can't find it
Your mug with lipstick, my hand still reaches to find it
[Pre-Chorus]
Every little habit holds a map of what went wrong
I trace the edges, hope you'll hear this in my song
[Chorus]
Can't sleep without you — bring your smile back (oh)
Can't breathe without you — pull me from the black
I need the daylight where your laughter used to lie
I wanna see you smiling every day of my life
[Bridge]
I let pride close the door — I'll learn to open more
Give me one more dawn, I’ll prove I’m yours for sure
I missed your call the night the power went away
I promise new mornings, steady hands, no games to play
(Vocal run) Give me one more dawn — I’ll show you I'm awake
[Chorus — Big]
Can't sleep without you — bring your smile back now
Can't breathe without you — tell me when and how
Let me build the mornings, warm the coffee, dry your eyes
I wanna see you smiling every day of my life
I wanna see you smiling every day of my life (tag, layered harmony)
[Outro]
Sparse keys fade, low sub-bass holds the night
Ad-libs: bring your smile back — bring your smile back (echo)
Final whisper: I wanna see you smiling every day of my life
