About
A heartfelt soul ballad featuring emotive vocal runs that soar with raw passion, punchy horn accents punctuating the choruses, and syncopated bass grooves driving the rhythmic pulse. Call-and-response patterns in the chorus amplify the emotional plea, backed by warm Hammond organ swells, live drum energy, and gospel-tinged harmonies evoking classic Stax-era production with tape saturation and natural reverb. The mix centers upfront, gritty male vocals over a dynamic low end, capturing the ache of lost love.
Lyrics
Oh darling, come back to me Woke up this morning, sheets cold as stone Your shadow lingin' on the walls I've known Tasted your goodbye like bitter rain Heart screamin' silent in the pourin' pain Every breath I take pulls me under Memories crash like endless thunder Why'd you leave me broken, baby? So cryin' out in the dead of night Love we built now, ashes scattered Holdin' on but slippin' from my side From my side Walk these streets alone, feet heavily lit Of your laugh dancin' in my head Tried to drown the ache in tears I shed But your fire's burnin' deep inside instead Every step I take feels like surrender Fightin' ghosts that pull me down Pull me back to remember Why'd you leave me broken, baby? Broken, baby So cryin' out in the dead of night Love we built now, ashes scattered Holdin' on but slippin' from my side From my side One day I'll rise from this river of blue Find my way back to the light shinin' through No more chains of what we used to be Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free So cryin' out in the dead of night Love we built now, ashes scattered Holdin' on but slippin' from my side From my side No more chains of what we used to be Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free No more chains of what we used to be Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free No more chains of what we used to be Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free No more chains of what we used to be Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free No more chains of what we used to be Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free No more chains of what we used to be Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free No more chains of what we used to be Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free No more chains of what we used to be Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free No more chains of what we used to be Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free Gonna heal this wound and set my spirit free
