Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] (Sound of paper crinkling and the strike of a match. A lonely acoustic guitar melody fades in with a heavy "crackling fire" texture.) [Verse 1] (Nostalgic, dreaming voice) If only there was a way to travel back in time To erase the betrayal and every bitter lie I’d be the nicest guy you ever could have met Bringing flowers to your door when you were upset I’d just stay right here and treat you right Lose myself in the shadow of your eyes I’d slay the beast just to see you vibe ’Cause damn, you were pretty when you’d smile. [Chorus] (Beat drops: A soft, muffled kick and a high-pitched, crying synth) Burned letters I wish I’d sent Cursed villain, I’ve ditched, I’ve landed Burned letters I wish I’d sent Burned letters, burned letters... [Verse 2] (Wistful, voice breaking) Girl, you’ve always been the only one But it’s seven years now since you’ve been gone I’ll forever try to bring you home In my heart, in the rhythm of my songs I can’t forgive the man that I once was I still hate me; I hope she still does I’m the one who threw the gas on the fire I was the darkness, she was the brighter... [Bridge] (Building tension—add a ticking clock and a rhythmic drum build-up) A thousand words I wrote for you that you’ll never get to read I could’ve filled a thousand books with the pages, I believe Just ink and ash... Just smoke and regret... [Chorus] Burned letters I wish I’d sent Cursed villain, I’ve ditched, I’ve landed Burned letters I wish I’d sent Burned letters, burned letters... [Outro] (The beat begins to distort and slow down) Still the dark... She was the brighter. Still the gas... I was the fire. (Voice gets more distant) A thousand pages you’ll never see. Seven years of the ghost of me. Burned letters... Burned letters... (Beat cuts out suddenly on the word "Burned")
