Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Alto:
You laughed
But your hands were shaking
Coffee cooled between us
Untouched
You said
"I ruin every good thing"
Like you were warning me off
Soprano:
I knew every crack in your armor
Every story you never could say
Still I leaned my head on your shoulder
Said
"I'm not walking away"
[Chorus]
Both:
I loved you past the worst days
Through every sharp word you threw
You cut the cord in one swing
Swan-neck clean
You said we're through
Guillotine goodbye
So sudden
Still I stand here in the line
I loved you like a lifetime
You left me like a headline
[Verse 2]
Alto:
You folded my hoodie so neatly
Left it out by the door
Like a crime
Your note just said
"Don't hate me"
Signed with your first name
Not mine
Soprano:
You went and erased all our pictures
Left blank spaces where we used to be
Like if you cut out the color
You could live safer in grey
[Chorus]
Both:
I loved you past the worst days
Through every sharp word you threw
You cut the cord in one swing
Swan-neck clean
You said we're through
Guillotine goodbye
So sudden
Still I stand here in the line
I loved you like a lifetime
You left me like a headline
[Bridge]
Alto (soft):
Was I too close
Too warm
Too known
Would you have stayed
If I'd stayed stone
Soprano (overlapping, fragile):
If you called me now
Just said my name
I'd bring all the light
Back to your frame
Both (in harmony, rising):
You can hate me
You can vanish
Change your number
Change your street
But you can't unteach my heart
How to love you
Incomplete
[Chorus]
Both:
I loved you past the worst days
Through every sharp word you threw
You cut the cord in one swing
Swan-neck clean
You said we're through
Guillotine goodbye
It's falling
Still I'd stand there every time
I loved you like a lifetime
You left me like a headline
[Outro]
Soprano (barely above a whisper):
If you ever miss my shoulder
Alto:
You know where my door has been
Both (soft, held):
You can sever every ending
But you'd still be my begin (oh)

Style
Sparse, breathy indie-pop duet over warm electric piano and soft brushed kit; intimate close-mic female alto and soprano trading lines and brief harmonies. Verses stay hushed and confessional, bass barely gliding underneath; chorus blooms with stacked, airy vocals and subtle pads for lift. Occasional reverse reverb swells and soft guitar harmonics underline the “guillotine” moments, then decay back into whisper-quiet space., breathy
