Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You walked in like mid-September Cold air But you felt like June Coffee cup on my chipped old counter You laughed Said “God I love this room” I sold my pride just to keep you talking Called in sick Skipped every plan Watched my friends all fade to the background Just to hold your trembling hands [Chorus] I gave my heart away Every last piece of it Tore down my walls Let you Move in and sleep in it You took the best of me Left me the empty ache I burned my world for you You watched it fall and turned away I gave my heart away [Verse 2] I learned your storms Your silent treatments Stayed up late to calm your ghosts Drove all night through red-eyed darkness Just to see you on that coast I missed my dad’s last birthday dinner ’Cause you said you “couldn’t breathe” Funny how when I started drowning You were already planning to leave [Chorus] I gave my heart away Every last piece of it Tore down my walls Let you Move in and sleep in it You took the best of me Left me the empty ache I burned my world for you You watched it fall and turned away I gave my heart away [Bridge] You said “Love means losing something” (losing something) Guess you meant I’d lose it all My sleep My time My sense of meaning Every picture on my wall Now your box sits by the doorway Just a name on my cracked phone I built a church around your shadow Now I’m praying here alone (yeah) [Chorus] I gave my heart away Every last piece of it Tore down my walls Let you Move in and sleep in it You took the best of me Left me the empty ache I burned my world for you You watched it fall and walked away I gave my heart away [Outro] So take your ghosts and all your memories I’ll keep this scar The price I paid You got my love like it was nothing But I remember what I gave (I gave my heart away)

rock, Arena-sized rock ballad with male vocals; clean guitar arpeggios and warm piano in the verses, then a huge wall of distorted guitars and crashing drums on the chorus. Vocal starts intimate and cracks into a soaring roar on the hook, with stacked harmonies and a screaming lead guitar answering the vocal lines. Final chorus climbs a key step for maximum heartbreak and release, then cuts to a lone vocal-and-piano tag., ballad, raw
