Prompt / Lyrics
Midnight on the dashboard clock Streetlights blink like tired eyes Windows down, the city breathing Every dream we told ourselves still tries Your laugh was gasoline On a fire we didn’t fear We thought love was a straight road With no edge, no end, no mirror Your jacket on my shoulders Your pulse under my skin You said “this feels like always” I said “this feels like a win” We carved our names in seconds Called it destiny and truth We didn’t know forever Was just a rumor for the youth We were young and fearless Running fast with open hearts Every warning looked like fiction Every ending felt too far We talked about tomorrow Like it owed us something more Like the world would hold the door We were almost forever We were fire in the rain We were every late-night promise That still whispers my name We were almost forever But almost still feels the same Now I dance with your shadow While you’re dancing away We were close to unstoppable Close to “never apart” But almost forever Still broke my heart Summer nights on your rooftop Counting planes and naming stars Saying “when we make it someday” Like “someday” wasn’t far You said you loved my silence I said I loved your flaws We wore hope like armor We ignored the cracks in laws You held my face and told me “This is it, this is real” I believed it with my whole chest I believed how you made me feel We took pictures for the future Smiling like we already won Not knowing every memory Would someday weigh a ton We were almost forever We were sparks in the dark We were pages of a story That fell apart We were almost forever We were gold till the cracks Now I’m holding the pieces While you never look back We were close to invincible Close to safe, close to smart But almost forever Still broke my heart Then life got louder than us Bills, dreams, fear, and doubt Your words got shorter Mine came rushing out You started saying “later” I started saying “why” We stopped meeting in the middle Started learning how to lie We argued over nothing Till nothing filled the room Your silence said more damage Than a scream ever could You said you needed breathing room I said I’d wait right here But waiting started feeling Like drowning in a year Do you still hear our song When it sneaks into the night Does your chest feel heavier When something feels right Do you remember the way I knew you before you spoke Or am I just a lesson Written, learned, and closed I packed your things in boxes Like they might explode Every shirt still smelled like you Every step felt overloaded Friends said “time will heal you” Time just taught me pain Taught me love can disappear Without leaving a stain I see you smiling in the daylight Like nothing ever burned Like we weren’t a whole universe Waiting our turn You look free in every photo I look, then look away Happiness shouldn’t hurt this much Even when it fades We were almost forever We were fire in the rain We were every late-night promise That still whispers my name We were almos
