Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1 – Female] Took your hoodie from the back of the chair Folded it twice like a quiet prayer All our photos in a box on the floor But your cologne still lives in the door [Verse 1 – Male] I walk past the café on 9th See our corner It stings every time Barista still asks if you're late I laugh it off Say "she’s doing great" [Pre-Chorus – Both] Everybody thinks they know How these endings go But we left pieces All over this town [Chorus – Both (duet)] We still show up at the same old parties Stand in circles Different stories Our friends say your name Watch my face (try not to break, try not to break) They ask you if I'm doing better You shrug it off Change the weather But I know you still hesitate When they say my name We loved for real It just wouldn’t stay [Verse 2 – Male] You heard I moved one stop down the line Closer to work Farther from our time You told Jess you’re glad that I'm fine But she said your hands shook on the wine [Verse 2 – Female] Your brother still likes all my posts Your mom hearts every stupid joke I saw your dog in the park last week He ran to me like you'd never leave [Pre-Chorus – Both] Everybody’s keeping score Of who is hurting more But we know better We both lost this war [Chorus – Both (duet)] We still show up at the same old parties Same old songs Same old stories Our friends say my name Watch your face (you look away, you look away) They ask me if you started dating I change the subject Keep them waiting But I know you still hesitate When they say my name We loved so hard It just couldn’t stay [Bridge – Female lead Male backing] Did we give up late Or too soon? Did we leave our love in that living room? All those half-packed nights All the half-meant fights I still see you (yeah, I still see you) [Bridge – Male lead Female backing] Are you sleeping now through the rain? Do you still turn at the sound of my name? Every crowded space feels like empty space When I don't have you (when I don't have you) [Bridge – Both] We weren’t wrong We were right at the wrong time Right at the wrong time [Chorus – Both (overlapping duet)] We still show up at the same old parties (you by the window, me by the door) Talk around it Never say "sorry" (our eyes meet once, then hit the floor) Our friends say "you two were perfect" "Some things break and they stay that way" But I know you still hesitate When they say my name (when they say your name) We loved for real It just couldn’t stay [Outro – Both] If they ask Tell them We tried We tried If they ask Tell them We’re fine We lie Same friends Same town Different sides of the room We still show up Just not as me and you

Modern pop ballad duet with male and female vocals trading leads; close-mic intimacy over gentle piano and soft pads. First verse sparse, then subtle drums and warm bass lift the choruses. Call-and-response harmonies and overlapping lines in the duet sections, with a bridge that strips back to piano and stacked vocals before a final, bigger chorus swells then fades to a bare vocal ending., sad, female vocals
