Softly Breaking
Emotional sad piano pop ballad, slow tempo. Piano-forward, minimal arrangement with intimate and delicate piano. Soft female vocal with a slightly sweet, airy tone. Breathy singing style with gentle vibrato, emotional but restrained. Tender and fragile vocal delivery, whisper-like in verses, slightly fuller in chorus. Melancholic, lonely night-time atmosphere. Style inspired by Rosé-like emotional singing, but fully original. Clean, cinematic production, no belting, no power vocals.

Lyrics
Verse 1
The room is quiet, but my mind is loud
Your name is still hanging around
I trace the cracks on the piano keys
Every note reminds me of what we used to be
Pre-Chorus
I tried to stay strong, I tried to move on
But every night feels a little too long
Chorus
I was your number one girl
Or at least that’s what I believed
Now I’m just talking to shadows
Trying to breathe through memories
Verse 2
The moonlight falls on empty space
Where your arms used to feel safe
I play the song we never finished
Let it break me just a little bit
Chorus
I was your number one girl
In a world that felt so real
Now I’m learning how to love
Without you here to feel
Bridge
If loving you was all I knew
Then losing you became the truth
Final Chorus
I was your number one girl
Now I’m standing here alone
Just a piano and my heart
Learning how to let you go
