Your Name in Dust
Pop rock punk with driving mid-tempo drums, jagged palm-muted guitars, and a bassline that bounces under sudden stops; verse starts soft and close-mic, pre-chorus lifts with stacked thirds and breathy doubles, chorus slams into shouted harmonies and raspy lead screams. Breaks use cymbal lifts, gang oohs, and a tape-slap throw. Bright, punchy, raw mix with snarling mids and wide vocal layers., raw, female vocals, soft, punk, pop rock

Lyrics
You wore my coat in August rain
Said my hands were safe in yours
But your eyes kept checking doors
Like I was just a place to stay
Soft words, thin glass
I held them up and watched them crack
You smiled like that was love
Then left me standing in the back
[Pre-Chorus]
I traced the lie
Right off your tongue
I heard it breathe
I heard it run
And I knew, I knew
What you were doing to me
[Chorus]
You never loved me
You never loved me
Say it loud, say it clean
You never loved me
(never loved me)
You never loved me
Now I see what you mean
You never loved me
[Verse 2]
Sunday plates and half-read texts
Your kiss was cold, your laugh was next
You kept me close for all the shine
Then made my heart your exit line
I wore your silence like a name
It fit me wrong, it burned the same
I gave you every open door
You just kept asking for one more
[Pre-Chorus]
I bit my tongue
Till it turned black
I heard your voice
And wanted back
But I knew, I knew
You were never mine to keep
[Chorus]
You never loved me
You never loved me
Say it loud, say it clean
You never loved me
(never loved me)
You never loved me
Now I see what you mean
You never loved me
[Bridge]
Ahhh—take the picture down
Ahhh—let it hit the ground
I was a home
You were a room
Ahhh—every sweet excuse
Ahhh—just a prettier bruise
I was alive
You were a move
[Final Chorus]
You never loved me
You never loved me
I was bleeding in green
You never loved me
(never loved me)
You never loved me
Now I burn like gasoline
You never loved me
You never loved me
You never loved me
And the truth sounds mean
You never loved me
