Ain’t Over You

[start] [Intro: Layered electric guitars — fuzz-driven riff under a tremolo-picked melody, minor key; slow, tense groove] (yeah…) Still hear your name in the wires... [Verse] It’s been six cold weeks since you slammed that door But your shadow’s still etched in my floor I burn the letters, I break the frames But I still flinch when I hear your name Your perfume’s laced in the midnight air I see you in corners — you’re never there I swear I’m movin’ on, but it ain’t true No matter what I say, I’m still missin’ you [Chorus] I ain’t over you — like I swore I’d be You’re the ache that won’t set me free Tried the whiskey, tried the flame But all my roads still spell your name I ain’t over you, not even close Still chasin' ghosts [Verse] You haunt like smoke on my second skin I wear regret like a badge within The records crackle like you used to hum I play them back ‘til my fingers go numb The mirror’s cruel, shows me the cost A love like yours — once burned, it’s lost But every fire needs air to feed And baby, you’re still breathin’ in me [Chorus] I ain’t over you — though I fake the grin You’re the war I can’t seem to win Changed my number, killed the tune Still you echo in every room I ain’t over you — can’t pretend This ain’t the end [Bridge: Melodic guitar solo over brooding riff, weaving fuzz and reverb; slow build with layered harmonics and eastern-flavored bends] [Guitar direction: “Layered twin leads, minor scale with harmonic slides and feedback swells.”] [Chorus] I ain’t over you — though I play it cool Still stuck on the wrong side of cruel Told my friends I’m movin’ fast But I’m buried deep in the past I ain’t over you — can’t let go Thought you should know... [Outro: Return of tremolo guitar over low-end fuzz; vocals fade into ambient amp buzz] [Soft whisper] I ain’t over you... [Faint feedback swell] No, I never was… [end]
