[Music box melody begins, soft and melancholic]

[Verse 1] [Dream Pop]
Shadows stretch and claim the night
A memory, held ever tight
Your silhouette, a whispered name
Lost in this nostalgic game

[Pre-Chorus] [Baroque Pop]
A fragile hope, a gilded cage
Turning back a faded page
My heart beats slow, a gentle drum
Waiting for a love to come

[Chorus] [Romantic Lament]
(Breathy, double-tracked vocals enter)
Oh, the haze of yesterday
Where did you go, why couldn't you stay?
This music box, a tear-stained tune
Echoes a love lost too soon

[Verse 2] [Dream Pop]
Cracked porcelain, a faded rose
The secrets that the garden knows
Sun-bleached letters, tied with string
Whispering tales the shadows sing

[Pre-Chorus] [Baroque Pop]
A fragile hope, a gilded cage
Turning back a faded page
My heart beats slow, a gentle drum
Waiting for a love to come

[Chorus] [Romantic Lament]
Oh, the haze of yesterday
Where did you go, why couldn't you stay?
This music box, a tear-stained tune
Echoes a love lost too soon

[Bridge] [Music Box Interlude]
[Music box melody becomes more prominent, slightly distorted]
Tick-tock, tick-tock, the years drift by
Beneath a weeping willow's sigh

[Chorus] [Romantic Lament]
Oh, the haze of yesterday
Where did you go, why couldn't you stay?
This music box, a tear-stained tune
Echoes a love lost too soon

[Outro] [Dream Pop]
[Music box fades out with breathy vocals]
Too soon... too soon...
[Acoustic guitar fades]
