Burned2

Lil bit… somebody told me the truth… and she broke my heart…

Verse 1 (soaring melodic, raw delivery):

Somebody told me the truth and she broke my heart,

Someone showed the lies and it’s all her fault.

No one loved me like her and that’s why she haunts my soul,

Shadows in the rearview, draggin’ me down that same old road.

Chorus (kicks in heavy — distorted guitars crash, big harmonies, passionate wail):

I’m over the pain, I’m over the shame,

But deep in the soul she burned her name.

Little to nothing remains, memories withered the same,

But the empty in my soul is what keeps me from lettin’ go…

Keeps me from lettin’ go!

Verse 2 (builds back with soaring vocals, then edge toward heavy):

Woke up again with her ghost in the sheets, whispers cuttin’ deeper than the truth ever could,

Tried to bury the fire but the embers won’t die, starin’ at ceilings like I misunderstood.

She took the best parts, left the wreckage behind,

Every quiet moment pulls me back to that time.

Bridge (starts lighter/soaring, then drops heavy with feedback and raw screams):

Lil bit of heaven, whole lot of hell… why’d you have to love me so well?

Burned in deep, can’t wash it away… this emptiness owns me, night after day…

Chorus (outro, full heavy soar, layered vocals fading with guitar sustain):

I’m over the pain, I’m over the shame…

But deep in the soul she burned her name…

Little to nothing remains…

The empty in my soul… keeps me from lettin’ go…

(She haunts my soul… yeah…)
