Title:

“Quantum Heartache”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Am | C | G | F
Oh, she’s a variable in my theorem of love,
Am | C | G | F
An unknown entity, tearing my heart apart,
Am | C | G | F
She’s the speed of light, in the darkness of my nights,
Am | C | G | F
An energy that’s undefined, tearing my heart apart.

(Chorus)
Dm | G | C | Am
Quantum heartache, I’m stuck in your space,
Dm | G | C | Am
Between your love and disdain, is a place of no release,
Dm | G | C | Am
Oh, quantum heartache, trapped in your embrace,
Dm | G | C | Am
In this complexity of love, where uncertainty only increase.

(Verse 2)
Am | C | G | F
She’s the integral of my joy and my pain,
Am | C | G | F
An equation unsolved, tearing my heart apart,
Am | C | G | F
She’s the constant in my life’s chaotic game,
Am | C | G | F
An anomaly in my world, tearing my heart apart.

(Repeat Chorus)
