People Too Pretty

Huge solo in guitar ⸻ [Verse 1] Lipstick on the coffee cup, fingerprints on the sink ((breathy close-mic vocal, almost whispered)) I can hear the city buzzing louder than the things we never say Your silhouette keeps flickering with the television glow ((minimal synth pulse, low melodic bass enters softly)) Every room inside this place still carries your perfume slow ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] And your eyes say stay But your body turns away ((bass becomes restless, syncopated tension)) Every time I touch your skin You disappear again ⸻ [Chorus] Maybe love was never built for people like us ((falsetto lift, layered harmonies bloom suddenly)) Too pretty for the daylight Too complicated for trust You hold me like a secret Then leave me alone in the dark ((explosive snare fill, shimmering synth stabs)) Now the hallway echoes every shattered little part ⸻ [Instrumental Break] ((funk guitar chanks, synth pulse, distant thunder returning)) ⸻ [Verse 2] High heels by the doorway, television glowing blue I still taste your cigarettes tangled in the room ((vocal crack intentionally left raw)) We danced barefoot in the kitchen like the world was gonna end Now your silence hits harder than your hands ever did ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 2] And I hate how beautiful you look walking away ((falsetto ad-lib spirals upward)) Like heartbreak wearing perfume and sequins in the rain ((bass line more animated, drums widen slightly)) ⸻ [Final Chorus] Maybe love was never built for people like us Too hungry for affection Too afraid to be touched You kiss me like forever Then vanish before the light ((stacked falsetto harmonies, emotional ad-libs)) Leaving me and the shadows dancing alone tonight ⸻ [Outro] ((music strips down to drum machine and breathing)) Rain against the fire escape Phone glowing with no name ((single sustained synth chord fading into tape hiss))
