INTRO – whispered loop “I’ll be right back… right back… right back…” [VERSE 1] Your skin still warm, I can taste the spark, We crash like thunder in the dark. You pull away — “need a smoke outside,” Leave me naked in your alibi. Clock ticks loud, my heart replays, Half-lit room and an ash-tray haze. You said, “One drag, then I’ll come back,” Now I’m counting ghosts instead of tracks. (background whisper trail: “right back… right back…”) [CHORUS] I’ll be right back — that’s what you say, Right before you fade away. You light it up, I burn alone, Your promise smells like cheap cologne. I’ll be right back — but you never stay, Same three words that drift away. You love me hard, then disappear — Baby, “right back” means not here. [VERSE 2] Lip gloss on a cigarette, That’s the taste I can’t forget. You talk forever, but you run on cue, Future-fake fire, déjà vu. You love the rush, I love the fall, We build a high then wreck it all. You say it sweet, I hear it crack — “I’ll be right back… I’ll be right back…” (ambient echo underneath the mix continues softly) [BRIDGE – half-spoken / build] You don’t mean forever, you just mean for now, You say it like a prayer before you bow. I keep the bed warm, you keep the flame, Different hearts, same game. [FINAL CHORUS / OUTRO] I’ll be right back — soundtrack lie, Same excuse, different goodbye. You walk out wrapped in smoke and sin, And I stay here, breathing you in. I’ll be right back, yeah, that’s your art— Leaving fingerprints on my heart. You light a match, fade to black, Every love song ends like that — I’ll be right back… right back… right back… (music decays to the whisper loop again, fading out on breath and vinyl crackle)
