Loveless eyes

Title: “Loveless Eyes” (Outlaw Fire Mix)

Southern rock ballad with heartache, fire, and a steel spine

---

Verse 1

I’d trade 'em all in just to hold you close,

'Cause back at the start, you meant the most.

You lit up my world, made my spirit shine,

But I never thought I'd lose what once was mine.

Now I’m stuck with silence and empty nights,

You built a wall too tall to fight.

---

Verse 2

I’ve been shoutin’ through the hurt, but you don’t hear,

You just drag the past like a souvenir.

Every fault, every flaw—you bring ‘em all back,

Like love’s just a weapon and I’m under attack.

I asked for grace, but you wear a crown,

And every step forward—you tear it down.

---

Chorus (Band crashes in – fierce, soulful delivery)

That’s why I’ve got to change my world,

Can’t keep bleedin’ for one lost girl.

I begged, I broke, I faced the fight,

But I’m done gettin’ burned just to make things right.

It ain’t revenge—it’s risin’ true…

I’ve got to find myself without you.

---

Verse 3

Maybe it’s the messages, yeah, the ones online,

Strangers in different towns just passin’ time.

No touch, no sin, but still you accuse—

Like I crossed a line I never meant to choose.

You’re fightin’ ghosts I’ve never known,

Turnin’ your fears into sticks and stones.

---

Verse 4

Truth is—some were sweet, just tryin’ to care,

But I kept my soul outta thin, temptin’ air.

They’re in other states, other towns, far and wide—

Not down the street where secrets hide.

I pushed away what could’ve lit the fuse,

‘Cause I don’t want love from loveless, lying blues.

---

Chorus (repeat – heavier, with backing harmonies)

That’s why I’ve got to change my world,

Can’t keep bleedin’ for one lost girl.

I begged, I broke, I faced the fight,

But I’m done gettin’ burned just to make things right.

It ain’t revenge—it’s risin’ true…

I’ve got to find myself without you.

---

Bridge (Let it simmer—then crash in)

You said “love,” but meant control,

Turned my heartache into your goal.

You hold the past like a loaded gun—

But I ain’t waitin’ around to be the next one.

I ain’t a villain, I ain’t a saint—

I’m a man who finally knows he ain’t.

---

Final Chorus (Last blow – raw and real)

That’s why I’ve got to change my world,

Can’t keep dyin’ for one lost girl.

I stood in the fire, now I walk through flame,

Done with the guilt, done with the shame.

This ain’t goodbye—it’s the truth I choose…

I’ll take my soul back—and pay no dues.

---

Finishing Line (Outro – low, defiant, fading guitar)

I gave you my heart, but I won’t give my soul—

Now I’m takin’ back the pieces you stole.
