Never Say Goodbye

Power ballad, folk rock; vintage 90s mix with analog tape saturation, plate reverb, and room-mic ambience; raspy male baritone in the user's own recorded voice, stacked harmonies and echoing ad-libs; steel-string strumming, expressive dobro slides, tom-heavy backbeat and cymbal-swell crashes; steady 90 BPM slow burn, swelling into tearful catharsis

[Intro Harmony]
*[harmonizing with the guitars]*
mmmmmmm mm mm 
mmmmmmmmmmmm

[Verse somber raspy male voice]
*[Emotional delivery]*
am i human if i laugh,
or to cry if i say goodbye,
but iv learned from the past,
if you say goodbye, they all die,
say, see you later, my friend
givem a chance, a purpose 
see you later once again,
but, im always so nervous,
what if it doesnt matter?
what if its all just a scam?
if i climb this lonely latter,
will i ever meat the man?
will i just see the clouds?
is ther a kingdom in the shroud?
if i only  knew id understand,
but without a single plan,
without a reason why,
i cant just lettem leave 
without saying goodbye,
but that always makes me grieve, 
almost every single time,
every time i sayyyyyyy,
 i sayyyyyyy, good-byeeee

[Chorus Power Ballad]
*[Raspy raw energy]* *[Echoing ad libs]*
If you love’em! (yeah) hug’em
dont lettem leave,wantin,more (more)
if you love’emmm! (yeah) hug’em
before they walk,out the,door (door)

you can watchem walk away, (way)
you can callem to say hi, (hi)
but.. (but)
what ever you do, never say…..

neverrrrr say gooooodbyyye! (yeah)
n-neverrrrr say-ay 
good-bye-eye-eye..
yeah, good…bye…
mmmMMMmmm
(good bye)

*[Guitar Solo]*

**[Bridge – building, raw, almost spoken at first then rising]**  
*(guitars drop to a tense pulse, voice low and cracked)*
I hold the words so tight
Afraid the end would come
But it all feels like a lie  
the truth hurts me numb
Maybe i dont need to know
Maybe i just need to pray 
Maybe all we have to do
is love ’em  before they drift away

you can watchem walk away, (way)
you can callem to say hi, (hi)
but.. (but) 
what ever you do, never say…..

neverrrrr say gooooodbyyye! (yeah)
n-neverrrrr say-ay 
good-bye-eye-eye..
yeah, good…bye…
mmmMMMmmm
(good bye)

**[Outro – soft power, fading into space]**  
*(full band swells then gradually strips away, voice raspy and intimate)*
Neverrrrr say goodbye…  
(never say it)  
Neverrrrr say goodbye…  
(hold on, hold on)

See you later
See you later

Mmmmm… never say…  
Goodbye…

*(final guitar swell, then silence)*
