Unwanted Kiss

[Intro – gentle acoustic guitar strum, faint fiddle hum] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – slow guitar arpeggios, quiet snare tap] Do you have any idea how much I wanted to kiss you tonight? And knowing it's completely unwanted Makes the dark feel twice as bright [Pre-Chorus – building fiddle melody, subtle bass line] I trace the cracks in this old bar stool Watch you laugh with someone new My chest tightens like a worn-out rope Wondering how to make the ache let go [Chorus – full acoustic arrangement, harmonized vocals] Here in this broken heart, how do I make the hurt stop? Certainly not seeing your face light up when he talks I clutch my beer like it's a lifeline, trying not to fall apart Do you have any idea how much I wanted to kiss you tonight? [Interlude – soft fiddle solo, stripped-back guitar] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 2 – same guitar rhythm, added pedal steel] I practiced the words a hundred times In the mirror of my truck last night But when you walked in with your hand in his I lost all the courage I might've had [Pre-Chorus – intensified fiddle, steady kick drum] I count the minutes till last call Praying my feet don't stumble when I fall I keep my eyes glued to the floor Afraid you'll see what I can't ignore [Chorus – layered vocals, swelling pedal steel] Here in this broken heart, how do I make the hurt stop? Certainly not seeing your face light up when he talks I clutch my beer like it's a lifeline, trying not to fall apart Do you have any idea how much I wanted to kiss you tonight? [Bridge – minimal guitar, raw vocal delivery] I know I should just turn and leave But my heart won't let me believe That this is where our story ends With me still wanting what I can't mend [Final Chorus – full band, emotional peak] Here in this broken heart, how do I make the hurt stop? Certainly not seeing your face light up when he talks I'll drive home alone with the radio low, trying to piece my heart back apart Do you have any idea how much I wanted to kiss you tonight? [Outro – fading guitar, soft fiddle fade-out] Do you have any idea how much I wanted to kiss you tonight?
