VERSE 1 [acoustic country, fingerpicked guitar, light strum, subtle banjo, slow-medium tempo, raw nasal male vocal] Coffee gone cold on the counter Your goodbye still hangs like a sin Sunlight cuts through blinds like warning I reach for the bottle again Same habit I swear I quit But it pulls me right back in CHORUS [soft drums enter, fuller strum, banjo accents, drawn hook, gritty lift] I pour it till it fades Try to wash your name away Burn it in the daylight Drown it just to feel okay Yeah I pour it till it fades VERSE 2 [strip back, tighter phrasing, slightly rougher delivery] You left your note on the doorframe Said you couldn’t take no more I called it just another phase then Now I’m stuck in these same floors Neon hum through dirty glass Watching every good thing pass CHORUS [slightly bigger strum, soft drums, banjo fills] I pour it till it fades Try to wash your name away Burn it in the daylight Drown it just to feel okay Yeah I pour it till it fades BRIDGE (SHORT) [nearly stripped, breath vocal] If I quit tonight Would I feel your light FINAL CHORUS [full acoustic lift, light drums, banjo present, gritty emotional release] I pour it till it fades Try to wash your name away Burn it in the daylight Drown it just to feel okay Yeah I pour it till it fades
