Last Call Halo

[Intro] Neon hums like a tired choir Rain writes names on the hood of my car [Verse 1] You left your shadow in my doorway light Like smoke that won’t admit it’s gone I keep rehearsing your goodbye at night Until the words feel overdrawn A half-full glass, a lipstick stain A map of where you’ve been I tell myself I’m “fine” again But “fine” don’t mean I win [Chorus] Don’t let me be your last call halo Don’t spin me up just to set me down slow If you’re gonna love me, love me like you mean it If you’re gonna leave, don’t leave me half a ghost Don’t let me be your last call halo I shine for you… then I burn out alone [Verse 2] Your name tastes bitter on my tongue tonight Like coffee gone cold on the sill I watch the ceiling fan turn wrong to right Like it can teach my heart to heal I used to pray you’d choose my arms Now I pray I’ll choose myself But every time the streetlight flickers I hear you asking for my help [Chorus] Don’t let me be your last call halo Don’t spin me up just to set me down slow If you’re gonna love me, love me like you mean it If you’re gonna leave, don’t leave me half a ghost Don’t let me be your last call halo I shine for you… then I burn out alone [Bridge] I’m not your medicine, I’m not your mistake I’m not the comfort you borrow and break Say it clean—say it cruel—say it true I can survive… just not halfway with you [Solo] (8–12 bars) Expressive guitar solo that escalates: soft bends → louder sustain → emotional peak, then drop back into final chorus. [Final Chorus] Don’t let me be your last call halo Don’t kiss my mouth with an exit-code If you’re gonna love me, love me like you mean it If you’re gonna leave, leave me with my whole soul Don’t let me be your last call halo I shine for me… and I let you go [Outro Tag] Last call… halo… I shine for me… and I let you go
