[Intro – Fingerpicked Acoustic Guitar, Low Haunting Male Vocal] Some things fade… Some things remain… You can bury the past… But you can’t wash away the stain. [Verse 1 – Restrained, Raw Male Vocal] I’ve loved and lost, I’ve played the fool I’ve broken hearts and broken rules Some walked away, some begged to stay Some haunt the nights I threw away I’ve said goodbye, I’ve cursed the rain I’ve learned to live with what remains And every road I’ve traveled down Leads to the ghosts I left behind [Pre-Chorus ] Oh, time moves on But scars remain You can change your life But not the pain [Chorus – Powerful soaring vocals] You can’t erase the pain You can’t outrun the rain Every love I’ve thrown away Comes calling back again Oh, the years may change But the truth remains You can break a heart But you can’t break the stain [Verse 2 – Darker Guitar, Driving Bass] I’ve held the ones I couldn’t keep I’ve made my promises too cheap I’ve watched the fire turn to ash Still reaching for a love long past And somewhere in another life I’d make the wrongs I did turn right But time won’t bend, and love won’t wait We’re all the sum of our mistakes [Pre-Chorus – Rising Harmonies] Oh, hearts move on But memories stay And every love Takes some away [Chorus – Full Band, Emotional] You can’t erase the pain You can’t outrun the rain Every love I’ve thrown away Comes calling back again Oh, the years may change But the truth remains You can break a heart But you can’t break the stain [Bridge – Stripped Acoustic Guitar] If I could turn back time… Could I right the wrongs… Would it end the same…. Maybe I just don’t…. Belong [Instrumental Break – Hypnotic Repeating Bassline, wailing epic Electric Guitar solo] [Final Chorus – Explosive, Gritty but melodic soaring Male Lead] You can’t erase the pain! You can’t outrun the rain! All the hearts I’ve left behind Still whisper out my name! Let the years roll on! Let the seasons change! Some things time can wash away… But never love’s last stain! [Outro – Extended Rock Guitar Solo Fade] (Male – Low, Nearly Whispered) I’ve loved… I’ve lost… I’ve learned… Too late… [Extended Electric Guitar Solo – Emotional, Raw, Building to a Powerful Final Chord]
