Title:

“Scorching Solitude”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
G D
In the burning haze of the summer’s twilight,
Em C
Loneliness wraps me in its chilling bite,
G D
Lost in the echo of your laugh, your light,
Em C
In the scorching solitude of the night,

(Chorus)
G D
Oh, the flames, they lick and dance,
Em C
Burning my heart at every chance,
G D
In your absence, I’m in a trance,
Em C
In the scorching solitude, I find romance,

(Verse 2)
G D
Bitter memories of your sweet smile,
Em C
Haunt me every lonely mile,
G D
Living in the heat, in denial,
Em C
In the scorching solitude, I’m in trial,

(Chorus)
G D
Fire of love, a cruel, cruel dance,
Em C
Burning my dreams, left no chance,
G D
In your absence, my soul’s expanse,
Em C
In the scorching solitude, life’s cruel romance,
