Love’s a Losing Game

YOUR MEMORY IS KILLING ME

[Verse 1]
I wake up when it's quiet, heart heavy as the dawn  
Haunted by the echoes of a love that's  been long gone  
Your laughter lingers softly in every corner of my mind  
A bittersweet reminder of the peace I just cannot find

[Pre-Chorus]  
In every whispered moment, in every tear that I let fall  
I feel the weight of memories echo down this hall  
Caught between the past and now
Where longing meets despair  
I'm searching for a way out, but your ghost is always there

[Chorus]  
Your memory is killing me
Like a shadow that won't fade  
Every silent hour, every breath
I'm trapped by the choices we made  
Though I try to move on
I can't escape 
What used to be  
Yeah girl, your memory is killing me

[Verse 2]
I walk through crowded streets, yet I'm never really free  
Every smile turns to sorrow, every face a memory  
In the quiet of my solitude, your presence fills the air  
A reminder of what was lost, a love I can’t repair

[Pre-Chorus]  
Between the ticking of the clock 
And the stillness of the night  
I’m caught in a timeless battle, between wrong and what was right  
No matter how far I wander
No matter where I roam  
Your memory is the anchor that keeps me far from home

[Chorus]  
Your memory is killing me
Like a shadow that won't fade  
Every silent hour, every breath
I'm trapped by the choices we made  
Though I try to move on
I can't escape 
What used to be  
Yeah girl, your memory is killing me

[Bridge]  
When the night grows silent 
And I’m left with my own fears  
I search for solace in the silence
Through the flood of unshed tears  
Wishing for a moment's peace 
To break this endless ache  
But every step I take
Your memory's there
Every promise it breaks

Your memory is killing me

[Chorus]  
Your memory is killing me
Like a shadow that won't fade  
Every silent hour, every breath
I'm trapped by the choices we made  
Though I try to move on
I can't escape 
What used to be  
Yeah girl, your memory is killing me

[Outro]  
Yeah, girl, your memory is killing me
Maybe slowly but
YOUR MEMORY IS KILLING ME

YOUR MEMORY IS KILLING ME

Slow Dancing with her head on my shoulder

[Intro]
I Wanna Be...

[Verse 1]
Late night, we’re talkin’ on the phone again
Laughin’ ‘bout the past like we ain’t more than friends
You tell me ‘bout your heartbreaks, how they let you down
Girl, can’t you see? 
I’m right here now

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you’re scared to take a chance
But love ain't love without the dance
So tell me, tell me, what’s it gonna be?

[Chorus]
I wanna be the one 
That holds you tight
I wanna be the name 
You say at night
More than just a shoulder 
When you cry
I wanna be your man
Not just a friend this time

[Verse 2]
We got history, yeah, we been through it all
But I need more than late-night calls
You say you don’t wanna lose what we got
But baby, what if love is worth the shot?

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you’re scared to take a chance
But love ain't love without the dance
So tell me, tell me, what’s it gonna be?

[Chorus]
I wanna be the one 
That holds you tight
I wanna be the name 
You say at night
More than just a shoulder 
When you cry
I wanna be your man
Not just a friend this time

[Bridge]
Don’t say it’s safer 
If we just pretend
‘Cause I can’t fake it, girl, 
This ain’t pretend
You’re all I ever wanted
All I ever need
So tell me now
Do you feel the same for me?

[Chorus]
I wanna be the one 
That holds you tight
I wanna be the name 
You say at night
More than just a shoulder 
When you cry
I wanna be your man
Not just a friend this time

[Outro]
So don’t keep me waitin’
Love’s knockin’ now
Take my hand
Let’s work this out
I wanna be… 
Yeah, I wanna be…
More than just a friend 
This time

T Wanna Be

I WANNA BE

BELIEVING MY TEQUILA DREAMS

[Intro]
BELIEVING MY TEQUILA DREAMS

[Verse 1]
Neon buzz, another round
Bartender knows I ain't slowin’ down
One more shot and she’s right here
Smilin’ like she never disappeared

[Pre-Chorus]
The salt burns, the lime is sweet
And in my mind, she's next to me
A fool’s heart don’t know what’s real
So I pour again, just to feel

[Chorus]
I'm believing my tequila dreams
Swaying with her in the neon beams
She’s whisperin’ soft, callin’ me home
But the glass goes empty, and I’m still alone
Every sip is a lie I hold tight
But I’ll drink till she loves me tonight

[Verse 2]
Silver bottle, golden past
Tryna make the moment last
She ain’t gone when the room starts to spin
So I tip it back and pull her in

[Pre-Chorus]
The burn fades, the warmth remains
I swear I hear her say my name
Maybe love ain't really lost
If I drink enough to pay the cost

[Chorus]
I'm believing my tequila dreams
Swaying with her in the neon beams
She’s whisperin’ soft, callin’ me home
But the glass goes empty, and I’m still alone
Every sip is a lie I hold tight
But I’ll drink till she loves me tonight

[pedal steel guitar solo]

[Bridge]
Last call hits like a wrecking ball
Reality’s just a barroom brawl
She’s still gone, and I should know
But I’ll chase her ghost ‘til the bottle’s low

[Chorus]
I'm believing my tequila dreams
Swaying with her in the neon beams
She’s whisperin’ soft, callin’ me home
But the glass goes empty, and I’m still alone
Every sip is a lie I hold tight
But I’ll drink till she loves me tonight
Yeah, I’ll drink till she loves me tonight

[Outro]
Cause last call hits like a wrecking ball
But love’s a thirst that don’t dry up at all
So pour me one more, let me be
Lost in my tequila dreams
Believing My Tequila Dreams

BELIEVING MY TEQUILA DREAMS

YOUR TOUCH
Words & Music By Rhob Elliott

[Verse 1]
The world slows down when you’re near
Like every heartbeat waits to hear
The whisper of your fingertips
The silent fire in your kiss

[Pre-Chorus]
And all I want, and all I need
Is wrapped in how you look at me

[Chorus]
Your touch, it’s a language without words
A melody I’ve never heard
But it plays inside my chest
Like a song that never rests
Your touch, it rewrites every line
Of what I thought love felt like
It’s heaven in the simplest rush
I’m alive inside your touch

[Verse 2]
You turn the ordinary gold
With just one glance, you make me whole
And when your hand finds mine again
The world makes sense, the noise all ends

[Pre-Chorus]
There’s magic in the way you breathe
Like the stars are reaching out to me

[Chorus]
Your touch, it’s a language without words
A melody I’ve never heard
But it plays inside my chest
Like a song that never rests
Your touch, it rewrites every line
Of what I thought love felt like
It’s heaven in the simplest rush
I’m alive inside your touch

[Bridge]
It’s not just skin, it’s soul on soul
The kind of love that takes control
A silent vow, a sacred flame
And I’ll never be the same

[Chorus]
Your touch, it's a blessing and a spark
A quiet light inside the dark
I was lost until your love
Taught me just how deep it runs
Your touch, it’s where I wanna stay
Every night and every day
No need for words, no need to rush
All I need… is your touch

[Outro]
Your touch…
Just your touch…
That’s enough…
For me
Your Touch
Your Touch
(whispered - open studio mics)
Just Your Touch
That's it for me
Just your touch

YOUR TOUCH

ill probably never do this again
