[Verse 1 – soft alt-rock delivery, emotional tone, Goo Goo Dolls energy]
Do you ever wonder why
The air turns colder
When I’m not beside you?
Have you ever thought
Maybe things could change —
Maybe my heart could soften
If yours would open too?
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – rising tension, darker tone, 30STM energy]
Time will never heal —
The past still haunts my blood.
Chain me to your heart,
Silence won’t be enough.
Hope will always come…
If only there was one.
⸻
[Chorus – full alt-rock lift, emotional belt]
Pull me out the dark,
Kiss me through the pain.
Wash away the stain —
Wrap me
In glitter and in gold.
Pour out your heart,
Drink up all my sins.
Tear me piece from piece,
Don’t let me take the lead…
Oh darling, can’t you see?
⸻
[Verse 2 – stronger tone, slightly darker, emotional push]
Have you finally figured out
The kind of life you want
To build around you?
Can you keep it whole,
Or will it break
And fall around you?
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – repeat with fuller instrumentation]
Time will never heal —
The past still haunts my blood.
Chain me to your heart,
Silence won’t be enough.
Hope will always come…
If only there was one.
⸻
[Chorus – full power]
Pull me out the dark,
Kiss me through the pain.
Wash away the stain —
Wrap me
In glitter and in gold.
Pour out your heart,
Drink up all my sins.
Tear me piece from piece,
Don’t let me take the lead…
Oh darling, can’t you see?
⸻
[Bridge – cinematic, emotional, haunting]
Hide behind the glass,
That thin wedding veil —
But I still see through you.
Darker than my soul,
You’re faking all those smiles…
Don’t let them
Paper-doll you.
⸻
[Chorus – optional final reprise, softer start → big finish]
Pull me out the dark…
Kiss me through the pain…
Wash away the stain…
Wrap me
In glitter and in gold…
⸻
[Outro – echo rock outro, atmospheric guitars, reverb]
Pull me out the dark…
(out the dark… out the dark…)
Kiss me through the pain…
(through the pain… through the pain…)
Don’t let me fade away —
(fade away… fade away…)
Take what’s left of me…
(I’m losing all control…)
[SCREAM NOTE – raw, emotional, Jared Leto–style belt]
DON’T LET ME GO—
Don’t let me go…
(don’t let me go…)
Every day…
Every night…
(fading)
Every night…
[Instrumental – sustained guitars, drum crash, long reverb tail]
