[Intro] Cold string hums,a lamp-shade moon. [Verse 1] I packed my name in a paper sack, left your note on the window rack. Your shadow moves when the kettle sings, I count the scars on the quiet things. [Refrain – burst] Babe,I’m gonna leave you—hear that thunder in my chest. Every mile is fire,and still I wish you best. When the walls come crashing,I won’t beg the night to stay— hold my hand for one more breath,then let me walk away. [Drop – near silence] [Heartbeats on wood,strings barely brushed.] [Verse 2] We drew a map on a coffee stain, promised roads without the rain. But love that clings like winter wire cuts the skin to keep its fire. [Bridge – suspended] If I remain,I’m losing you; if I go,I lose me too. Let these chords hang,let them ache— two souls learning how to break. [Solo – short,bends & sustain over held chords] [Final Refrain – burst + stop-time hits] Babe,I’m gonna leave you—don’t you chase the passing light. All our golden whispers can’t outsing the night. Count to four in silence—unison hit,then fade— I loved you like the truth I had to disobey. [Coda – hushed] [One string,one spark—harmonic fades to dark.]
