[Intro: Fast melodic skatepunk guitar riff, upbeat ska drums, walking bass. Horns enter with a short melancholic melody.] [Verse 1: Fast melodic skatepunk, intimate and emotional delivery] I never knew the last goodbye would feel this hard I never knew one empty room could break my heart There were so many things I thought I'd say someday But someday came too late and took your voice away I keep remembering the things I used to ignore The way you called my name, the way you waited by the door I thought those little moments would always be around Now I would give anything just to hear that sound [Pre-Chorus: Ska upstroke guitars, bouncy bass, restrained horns] And I don't know what to do With all these words inside They keep coming back to me Every time I close my eyes [Chorus: Explosive melodic skatepunk, massive horns, emotional gang vocals] I should have told you that I loved you I should have stayed a little longer I should have listened when you talked Instead of thinking I had tomorrow Now I'm screaming at the silence Like somehow you could hear me I would give my whole life away For one more chance to tell you what you mean to me [Instrumental: Fast skanking guitar and brass interplay, trumpet and saxophone answering each other] [Verse 2: Rapid-fire melodic delivery, darker and more vulnerable] Some days I'm angry, some days I can't feel anything Some days I wake up and forget that you're not coming back again Then something small reminds me of the life we used to know And suddenly I'm standing there with nowhere else to go Everyone keeps telling me that time will make it better But time just teaches me to hide the pain a little better I don't want to forget the sound of your voice I don't want to lose the memories just because they hurt [Pre-Chorus: Ska rhythm, guitar upstrokes, horns gradually building] So I'll carry every scar And every word you left behind Maybe losing you has taught me What I never saw in time [Chorus: Explosive energy, massive horns] I should have told you that I loved you I should have stayed a little longer I should have listened when you talked Instead of thinking I had tomorrow Now I'm screaming at the silence Like somehow you could hear me I would give my whole life away For one more chance to tell you what you mean to me [Bridge: Slow ska breakdown, walking bass, rim clicks. Vocal restrained and almost spoken.] If heaven has a place for unfinished conversations I hope you know I'm still talking to you Not because I don't know you're gone But because letting go doesn't mean forgetting And maybe one day This pain won't feel so heavy Maybe I'll remember you And smile before I cry [Build-up: Drums rise gradually, distorted guitar returns, horns build tension] [Guitar & Saxophone Solo: Fast, emotional, melodic. Guitar and saxophone trade phrases before a full-band explosion.] [Final Chorus: Maximum energy, melodic skatepunk and ska equally balanced] I should have told you that I loved you I should have stayed a little longer I should have listened when you talked Instead of thinking I had tomorrow But I can't go back and change it So I'll live the life you gave me And every time I lose my way I'll remember what you taught me [Outro: Horns blazing, then sudden drop to clean guitar and vocal] There are still so many things I never got to say... But if you can hear me now... I love you. I miss you. And I'm still here. [End]
