[Verse 1]
(soft, conversational delivery)
🎵
Tattoo ink still fresh, promises on my skin
Didn’t know I was walking into the deep end
Club lights, I pulled away from your hand
But then I came back… and you made me understand
(soft melodic lift)
We talked every day, then came our first date
Frankie and Benny’s, felt like fate
The way you smiled, those eyes, that nerdy charm
I fell too fast… right into your arms
[Pre-Chorus]
🎵
It was fast, it was fire
We were kids playing grown desire
Thought I’d be your forever girl…
Didn’t know I was building castles in a broken world
[Chorus] (soulful, full voice)
🎵
I thought we’d grow old, raise kids, chase stars
Turn weekend trips to London into flights to Mars
I dreamed of a love that would rewrite my past
But your eyes kept wandering… we couldn’t last
Now I’m packing memories, folding the pain
Trying to smile through the pouring rain
This ain’t revenge… it ain’t exposure
It’s just me… finally finding my closure
[Verse 2] (intimate tone, growing emotion)
🎵
You held me close, but you weren’t all in
We moved abroad, but couldn’t outrun the wind
Letting people in tore our camp apart
We forgot what love meant, lost our hearts
And the hardest goodbye I ever knew
Was to baby number four… I broke in two
But I still see your face in our children’s eyes
And somehow… I still whisper goodbyes
[Pre-Chorus]
🎵
There was magic, there was mess
And I gave you nothin’ less
But love can’t live where trust won’t grow
So I’m lettin’ go… I’m lettin’ go
[Chorus] (powerful, maybe layered harmonies)
🎵
I thought we’d grow old, raise kids, chase stars
Turn weekend trips to London into flights to Mars
I dreamed of a love that would rewrite my past
But your eyes kept wandering… we couldn’t last
Now I’m packing memories, folding the pain
Trying to smile through the pouring rain
This ain’t revenge… it ain’t exposure
It’s just me… finally finding my closure
[Bridge] (stripped down, raw)
🎵
There’s a world where we made it through
Where forever meant me and you
But in this life, we lost the fight
And I’m tired of loving you just to survive the night
[Final Chorus] (soaring, redemptive energy)
🎵
We almost made it—God knows I tried
But I can’t keep bleeding just to feel alive
This is the end, but it’s not the end of me
I’m learning to love what’s left and set myself free
Not broken, just older
Not cold… just bolder
And this… this is my closure
