[Intro] [Dirty indie-rock guitar riff, tight punchy drums, warm gritty bass. Short instrumental opening.] [Verse 1] [Low smoky male vocal, dry and close, slightly sarcastic, conversational delivery.] She's crying no tears It's fake, her sobs I understand her fears [Voice becomes rougher, restrained bitterness] Her comfort blanket I ripped away Could have been worse... It could have been worse... [Pitch rises into a long raw sustained note] TODAYYYYY! [Instrumental Break] [Crunchy guitar riff answers the vocal, drums punch hard.] [Verse 2] [Rhythmic, gritty male vocal, deliberate phrasing, controlled frustration.] Our love has burned out And I'm disengaging That's the reason for the shootout That she's staging [Sharper vocal attack, drums accent the words] Words are fired from her way... But I've run out... I've got nothing left... Nothing left to say... [Brief full-band stop] [Verse 3] [Lower vocal register, reflective and weary, guitar groove returns.] I'm just thinking of all those years That I wasted and all the bitter tears [Vocal becomes firmer, more melodic] She'll get over it all it takes is time What is hers I don't need to be mine [Pre-Chorus] [Drums build pressure, bass drives forward, guitars widen.] [Raw rising vocal, natural rasp] Sympathy well, well it's run dry [Hold "dry" with gritty vocal strain] Guilt trips baby they can't make me cry [Open-throated melodic lift, sustain "cry"] [Instrumental pullback, vocal drops close and intimate] I'm closed down I'm running on empty [Fragile vocal crack, exhausted delivery] Wish I could return the love she lent me [Brief pause before chorus] [Chorus] [Full band hits hard. Punchy drums, crunchy guitars, anthemic melodic rock vocal.] She can heckle but I'll have my say [Raise pitch, punch "say"] I no longer feel the same way [Powerful sustained "way", raw and passionate] What is hers I don't need [Rhythmic guitar punches, assertive vocal] I don't need it to be mine [Melodic rise, stretch "mine"] She'll get over it in time... [Long soaring vocal on "time", slight natural crack, sustained with passion] [Outro] [Main guitar riff returns, driving drums and bass, final full-band impact, abrupt decisive stop.]
