[Intro – slow blues riff with bends, 8 bars] [Verse 1] Streetlights flicker on the rain-slick road Memories hit like waves I can’t outrun Your voice lingers in the empty space Where we danced slow, now I’m undone Fingers ache from strings I played too long Chasing ghosts in every minor song [Pre-Chorus] Time bends but never breaks the chain Pulling me back through the pain [Chorus] Faded echoes in my soul Whisper secrets I can’t control Love we lost in the midnight blue Leaves me reaching out for you Faded echoes, won’t let go In this blues that only I know [Verse 2] Coffee stains on letters never sent Regrets stack high like unpaid rent Your shadow crosses every dawn A melody that’s come and gone Heartstrings pull, but they’re worn thin Wondering where we could have been [Pre-Chorus] Time bends but never breaks the chain Echoing your name again [Chorus] Faded echoes in my soul Whisper secrets I can’t control Love we lost in the midnight blue Leaves me reaching out for you Faded echoes, won’t let go In this blues that only I know [Bridge – intense riff build] Maybe healing’s just a riff away But tonight, the hurt’s here to stay… [Guitar solo – 24 bars, heavy blues riffs, bends climbing to emotional peak] [Final Chorus – ad-libs, full band swell] Faded echoes (fading slow) In my soul Love we lost… Faded echoes… won’t let go [Fade on lingering riff + feedback]
