[Intro – Clean electric guitar arpeggios, Minimal bass, Hi-hat drums taps]
[Verse 1 - Clean strumming guitar, bass, Basic drum beats with closed hi-hats]
Woke up in a room full of yesterday's pain
Memories on fire like a runaway train
You were the promise I could never touch
Now you're the ghost that's haunting too much
[Verse 2 - Clean guitar strumming, bass, basic drums beat with closed hi-hats]
I chased your shadow through a heartbreak maze
Lost in your smile, stuck in your blaze
You found your heaven in another man's hell
Left me with stories I could never tell
[Pre Chorus - Increase guitar strumming, rising bass, drum snare rolls]
I kept the silence, I wore the chains
Told myself I’m numb, but I still feel the strain
[Chorus - Full distorted power guitar, heavier bass, Drums hi-hats punk style]
Oh, you're the echo of a falling star
Burned so bright, then you drifted far
I tried to hold you, but you slipped away
Left me screaming into yesterday
[Verse 3 - Palm muted power chords rhythm guitar, Light melodic counter riff lead guitar, Bass, Kick and snare drums punk style]
Now every bar plays our song too loud
Every laugh I fake just drowns me out
You looked for diamonds in a pile of coal
Missed the one who'd die to heal your soul
[Pre-Chorus – Guitar strumming increases with a few melodic licks]
I wore the blame, I drank the lies
Told myself it’s fate, but it’s just goodbyes
[Chorus - Louder distorted power chords guitar, Bass, More drum fills hi-hats punk style]
Oh, you're the echo of a falling star
Burned so bright, then you drifted far
I tried to hold you, but you slipped away
Left me screaming into yesterday
[Bridge - Clean guitar riffs, bass slides, drums]
Now I laugh at the love that used to sting
You were the poison wrapped in wedding rings
Guess forever only lasts a week
When you're falling for a heart so weak
[Final Chorus - Heavy distorted guitar with octave riffs, bass slides, Punk rock drum fills with crash cymbals]
Yeah, you're the echo of a falling star
Crashing down, I don’t know where you are
I tried to save us, but you closed the door
Now I don't chase ghosts anymore
[Outro - Guitar slowly trail off, bass fades, drums end with a final crash and snare hit]
No, I don't chase ghosts anymore...
(One last note... one last war...)
