Can't Shake You

[Intro – gentle jangly guitar riff, soft drum machine shuffle] Morning light spills through the screen Your laugh still echoes in between [Verse 1 – warm bassline, muted guitar strums] I fold the shirt you left last week It still smells like your vanilla cheek I try to turn the radio up But every song just brings you up [Pre-Chorus – building keyboard hum, subtle tambourine] I walk the streets we used to take I order coffee, your old shake I tell myself it's just a phase But your ghost won't let me escape [Chorus 1 – full band, layered vocals, bright guitar arpeggios] I can't shake you, can't shake you off my skin Your name's still written where the light won't win I try to run, try to drown you out But every quiet hour brings you back about [Interlude – dreamy keyboard solo, soft reverb] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 2 – stripped-back guitar, softer drum beat] I deleted all our old texts today But your voice still plays when I look away I bought a new coat, a new routine But your shadow sticks to every scene [Pre-Chorus 2 – rising keyboard melody, light shaker] I pass the park where we first kissed I taste the rain, your lips still exist I tell myself I'm doing fine But your memory's stuck like a vine [Chorus 2 – intensified drums, harmonized vocals, distorted guitar edge] I can't shake you, can't shake you off my bones Your touch still lingers where the cold wind blows I try to hide, try to let you go But every empty corner makes me slow [Bridge – sparse piano, quiet vocals, building tension] I know I should let you fade away But I still reach for you when I wake I know it's wrong to hold on tight But your ghost is the only light [Final Chorus – full band climax, soaring vocals, crashing cymbals] I can't shake you, can't shake you from my soul Your love's still burning where the dark takes hold I try to fight, try to break the spell But every breath I take tells me I fell [Outro – fading guitar, soft piano, whispered vocals] Morning light spills through the screen Your laugh still echoes in between
