can't move on

(Intro – Instrumental | looping guitar, steady drums)

(soft guitar texture, immediate tempo)

(Verse 1)

I said I’m fine, yeah, I tell myself

But your name still hits like it’s something else

Packed your things but you stayed too long

Now I’m stuck here proving I was wrong

(Pre-Chorus)

I try to sleep but my mind goes back

Every moment we almost had

(Chorus)

I can’t move on

Even when I try

Every road I take

Leads back to your side

You’re gone for good

But I’m holding on

I keep saying I will

But I can’t move on

(Instrumental Break – 4 bars)

(drums + guitar only, no build)

(Verse 2)

New faces, same empty nights

I fake smiles, avoid the signs

They say time’s supposed to heal

But it just shows me what was real

(Pre-Chorus)

Every song feels like your voice

Like I still don’t have a choice

(Chorus)

I can’t move on

Even when I try

Every road I take

Leads back to your side

You’re gone for good

But I’m holding on

I keep saying I will

But I can’t move on

(Instrumental Interlude – guitar variation)

(melody changes, tempo stays)

(Bridge – stripped, intimate)

Maybe I’m scared of letting go

Or maybe I just miss you close

If loving you was my mistake

Why does it still feel the same?

(brief instrumental pause)

(Final Chorus – lifted but controlled)

I can’t move on

I’ve tried every way

I cut you out

But you still stay

If this is love

Then I was wrong

I keep saying I will

But I can’t move on

(Outro – Instrumental fade)

(guitar loop repeats, drums fade out)
