Lyrics
[Verse 1] Streetlight hums, heart’s on fire, Dreams burn out but I aim higher. People pass, but I stand still, The noise gets loud, can’t hear what’s real. Chasing highs that fade too fast, Every win just shadows the last. I’m built for more — I feel it too, But I don’t know what I’m running to. [Pre-Chorus] The quiet asks the hardest things, Like what my broken searching means. [Chorus] There’s something missing, I can’t describe, An empty space that won’t subside. I’ve filled it all — but nothing stays, Just echoes where the meaning fades. Something missing… something true, But I don’t know if it’s You. [Verse 2] I’ve chased the lights of lesser stars, But they burn out where the shadows are. I’ve found applause, but not my name, I’ve worn success but felt the same. The night is long, the questions deep, They visit me when I should sleep. The more I get, the less I prove — There’s still a space I can’t move through. [Pre-Chorus] The silence feels like something near, A breath I almost think I hear. [Chorus] There’s something missing, I can’t describe, An empty space that won’t subside. I’ve filled it all — but nothing stays, Just echoes where the meaning fades. Something missing… something true, But I don’t know if it’s You. [Bridge] If love is real, if truth can stay, Would it ever look my way? If there’s a light beyond this room, Let it find me through the gloom. [Final Chorus] There’s something missing, I still don’t know, A shadow pulling where I go. If someone hears me, say it’s true — That something missing… Could be You. Something missing… Could be You. [Outro] Streetlight hums… heart still burns. I don’t know You… but I want to learn.

How this song was made
I wanted to write a song around what it looks like to think about maybe having a belief in something more than oneself.
