[120 BPM] | [Indie Electronic] | Key: C minor

[Mood: Melancholic] [Energy: Building]

[Intro | heartbeat drum pattern | ambient synth pad swell | sparse | wide stereo]
(why do we~)
(why do we~)

[Verse 1 | tender haunting male falsetto | high in mix | hazy vocal texture | sparse production]
I said things I can't take back
Left them hanging in the air
I watched you turn away from me
Like I was never really there

I know exactly what I did
I felt it as I said the words
But something in me pulled the pin
On everything that we had built

[Pre-Chorus | layered backing vocals entering | ambient pads swelling | heartbeat drums building]
And I keep asking myself
In the dark when no one hears
Why the hands that hold you closest
Are the ones that cause the tears~

[Chorus | clubby euphoric drop | falsetto soaring | driving percussion | wide stereo | deeply emotional]
Why do we hurt the people we love the most
Why do we hurt the people we love the most
We build them up just to watch them go
Why do we hurt the people we love the most

The ones who stay
The ones who try
The ones who never ask us why
Why do we hurt the people we love the most~

[Post-Chorus | hazy vocal texture | ambient pad wash | heartbeat drums settling | wide stereo]
(why do we~)
(why do we~)

[Verse 2 | tender haunting male falsetto | sparse production | psychedelic hazy texture | intimate]
You gave me everything you had
And I kept asking for more
I turned your open arms to walls
And I'm the one who closed the door

It's not that I don't feel it
I feel it more than most
It's just the closer that you get
The more I turn you to a ghost

The ones who stay
The ones who try
The ones who never ask us why
Why do we hurt the people we love the most~

[Bridge | breakdown | single ambient pad | falsetto drops to near whisper | deeply vulnerable]
"maybe it's fear"
"maybe when something matters
we find a way
to push it out before it leaves us"

maybe we hurt who we love
because we know
they're the only ones
who'll stay~

(why do we~)
(why do we~)

[Final Chorus | Energy: High | euphoric emotional peak | falsetto soaring | wide stereo | driving percussion full]
Why do we hurt the people we love the most
Why do we hurt the people we love the most
We build them up just to watch them go
Why do we hurt the people we love the most

The ones who stay
The ones who try
The ones who never ask us why
Why do we hurt the people we love
WHY DO WE HURT THE PEOPLE WE LOVE THE MOST~

[Outro | heartbeat drums fading | ambient pad dissolving | falsetto fading into haze | wide stereo fade]
(why do we~)
(why do we~)
(why do we..................)
