she ain't gonna love you like I do

[Intro – warm electric piano arpeggios, subtle shaker] Neon glow on the empty street Your shadow lingers where we used to meet [Verse 1 – smooth bassline, gentle kick drum] You think she’s gonna stay up late waiting for your call You think she’ll hold you close when your world starts to fall You think she’ll know the way to fix your broken parts But baby, you’re just chasing empty sparks [Pre-Chorus – layered background vocals, rising synth hum] You’re running from the love that’s real Trading gold for something that won’t heal [Chorus – full band, soulful harmonies, soaring vocal run] She ain’t gonna love you like I do Ain’t gonna stay up crying when you’re gone till two She ain’t gonna know the things that make you come undone Baby, you’re gonna wake up when the damage is done [Verse 2 – muted guitar strums, soft tambourine] You think she’ll laugh at all your old stupid jokes You think she’ll keep your secrets when the whole world knows You think she’ll stand by you when your luck runs out But baby, she’s just playing you like a game of doubt [Pre-Chorus – intensified harmonies, building bass] You’re blind to the truth right in front of you Burning bridges you’ll regret when you’re blue [Chorus – richer instrumentation, more powerful vocal delivery] She ain’t gonna love you like I do Ain’t gonna forgive you when you break every rule She ain’t gonna hold you tight when the cold winds blow Baby, you’re gonna learn when your heart starts to slow [Bridge – stripped back, just piano and lead vocal] I still see your face in the morning light But I won’t wait around for you to come back right I’ve got my own dreams to chase, my own fire to light You’ll realize too late who was worth the fight [Solo – soulful saxophone, warm reverb, slow vibrato] (Instrumental Solo) [Final Chorus – full band climax, gospel-style background vocals] She ain’t gonna love you like I do Ain’t gonna build you up when you’re feeling blue She ain’t gonna love you through the highs and the lows Baby, you’re gonna miss me when the loneliness grows [Outro – fading piano, soft vocal ad-lib] You’ll call my name when the night gets cold But I’ll be long gone, already moved on
