[Happy emo intro]

[Tight palm-muted guitar groove]

[Verse 1 - Syncopated soulful verse, vocals weaving around the beat, powerful yet controlled voice. Intensity from the Intro is kept.]

Here's to my latest mistake 
welcome to the castle
Of the king of second chances, march on through
Because the gate is wide open.

[Instrumental Break - 4 bars, NO VOCALS. Short guitar-and-drum interlude separating the verse from the pre-chorus. Do not transition directly into the next vocal section.]

[Pre-Chorus - Building Tension with driving snare drum]

I'm holding my poker face, but you're holding the cards
Queen of spades, dagger placed, straight in my heart.

[Instrumental Pause - 2 bars, NO VOCALS. Pre-chorus vocals stop completely for a short guitar lick, then resume.]

[Pre-Chorus Continues, Vocals rising]
You beat us, defeated, before we could start
You're my queen of smokescreen, keeping us apart.

[Drum Fill for 4 bars]

[Chorus - Soulful, controlled, melodic vocals, loose phrasing]

Runaway girl,
Jump straight off that cliff.
Let’s see how far you slide
Before you realise
Nobody's there to lift you up.

[Short Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 2]
No need to pay me rent for the bedsit in my head,
I'd draw up an agreement but your words are all empty,
Nothing there, just like that pit you call a heart.

[Instrumental Pause - 4 bars, NO VOCALS. Pre-chorus vocals stop completely for a short guitar lick, then resume.]

Pre-Chorus - Building Tension with driving snare drum]

I'm holding my poker face, but you're holding the cards
Queen of spades, dagger raised, straight from the start.

[Instrumental Pause - 2 bars, NO VOCALS. Pre-chorus vocals stop completely for a short guitar lick, then resume.]

[Vocals rising]
You really don't need us, Where is your heart?
Priestess of my weakness, My favourite scar.

[Drum Fill for 4 bars]

[Chorus - Soulful, controlled, melodic vocals, loose phrasing]

Runaway girl,
Jump straight off that cliff.
Let’s see how far you slide
Before you realise
Nobody's there to lift you up.

[Outro Instrumental]

[Outro Vocal]
Runaway girl
jump off that cliff

[Song Ends]
