Empty picture frames on the dusty wall

Verse 1]
(Clean electric guitar, gentle, breathy voice)
Empty picture frames on the dusty wall
Fading echoes of your whispered call
A ghost of perfume lingers in the air
I reach for you, but you're no longer there
Just a silhouette against the setting sun
Before the final battle was lost and won

[Chorus]
(Distorted, heavier guitar riff, stronger, pained voice)
You're a memory now, a fading light
The brightest star in my darkest night
It's a tragic tale, a bittersweet art
The best damn thing that ever broke my heart
You're a memory now, and I let you be
The greatest part that ever happened to me

[Verse 2]
(Arpeggiated guitar, more reverb, melancholic, wavering voice)
I trace the lines your laughter left on my face
In this cold and solitary place
They say that time's a healer, a gentle friend
But every road I walk comes to the same end
A crossroads where I see you turn and leave
The only truth I can believe

[Chorus]
(Aggressive, palm-muted guitar, powerful, almost shouting voice)
You're a memory now, a fading light
The brightest star in my darkest night
It's a tragic tale, a bittersweet art
The best damn thing that ever broke my heart
You're a memory now, and I let you be
The greatest part that ever happened to me

[Bridge]
(Slow, single-note guitar melody with heavy delay, soft, almost spoken voice)
They told me to forget, to erase the pain
But washing you away is like stopping the rain
It's impossible... it's all I have left...
Of the beautiful wreckage, of this loving theft...

[Guitar Solo]
(Epic, emotional, soaring electric guitar solo with bends and vibrato)

[Chorus]
(Full band, crushing guitar tone, desperate and raw voice)
You're a memory now, a fading light!
The brightest star in my darkest night!
It's a tragic tale, a bittersweet art!
The best damn thing that ever broke my heart!
You're a memory now, and I let you be!
The greatest part that ever happened to me!

[Outro]
(Clean guitar, single chord ringing out, voice is a quiet whisper)
Just a memory...
The best I'll ever be...
My favorite memory...
