Shadows of a Heartache

[Verse 1]
Shadows of a heartache
Still sittin' in this truck
Half a tank of quiet
Whole lotta messed-up love
Heart in pieces, on the dash
Fallin' every time I breathe
Talkin' to the rearview
Like it’s you starin’ back at me
[Chorus]
Shadows of a heartache, trail me home
Empty side of the bed, all I know
I’m just a cracked-up cup
Waitin’ to be filled full
Darlin’, if you’re out there
Give me somethin’ to pull me through the night
I’m yearning for a sign
That you could be mine
[Verse 2]
Sunday on theFM
Every song cuts too deep
Every little love line
Says what I’m scared to speak
I ain’t askin’ perfect
Just someone who’ll stay
Hold my busted pieces
Like they’re gold anyway (yeah)
[Chorus]
Shadows of a heartache, trail me home
Empty side of the bed, all I know
I’m just a cracked-up cup
Waitin’ to be filled full
Darlin’, if you’re out there
Give me somethin’ to pull me through the night
I’m yearning for a sign
That you could be mine
[Bridge]
Maybe it’s your laugh in the back of this bar
Maybe it’s your eyes catchin’ mine in the dark
Maybe you’re the reason that I finally feel
This old broken heart start to turn something real (oh)
[Chorus]
Shadows of a heartache, let you go
You walk into my life, and I know
I was a cracked-up cup
You poured yourself in full
Darlin’, now you’re right here
You’re the one that pulled me through the night
You were always the sign
Now your hand’s in mine

country, Mid-tempo hip-country love groove with male vocals: dusty acoustic guitar over a head-nodding trap-influenced beat, warm sub-bass, and twangy electric fills. Verses stay close and confessional with tight drums and subtle pedal steel swells; chorus blooms wide with stacked harmonies and a big singalong hook. Light organ pads in the bridge to lift the emotion, then strip back to vocal and guitar for the final hook.
