Three nights in Orlando

[Verse 1]
You flew out chasing work and deadlines,
I stayed behind in your ghost-town shrine.
Your scent on the sheets, your laugh in the halls,
I kept myself busy to fill the quiet—yeah, I watched myself fall.
We talked ‘til the screen burned holes in my eyes,
Your smile through the static kept me alive.
But the beer spoke louder than my pride,
Said things about forever I can’t hide.
[Pre-Chorus]
I bled on your hands through the glass of a phone,
You said “baby, I’ll call,” and I waited alone.
[Chorus]
Three nights in Orlando,
And I’m fighting my shadow.
You said “don’t like to text, I said “we’ll talk tomorrow,”
But I already drowned in the sorrow.
I was burning down my calm to feel control,
And you just wanted peace for your soul.
Three nights apart—
But we kept our hearts in the fallout.
[Verse 2]
I weed-whacked the hill just to feel alive,
Skin torn, sweat stung, but I’d survive.
Moved your trailer, tinted glass—
Building your world while mine cracked in half.
Five hours in a hospital room,
Fluorescent lights humming my doom.
You were out under city glow,
Earned your time, enjoy the night, I should’ve let it go.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You called when my pride was set ablaze,
I hit decline like I could erase the ache.
[Breakdown / Bridge]
(Screamed / growled)
I’m sorry for the silence—
The texts I let become violence.
You lost track of time, I acted aloof,
But love’s a mirror that shows our truth.
We broke—
But only just enough to bend.
We spoke—
And promised it won’t be the end.
[Chorus – Reprise]
Three nights in Orlando,
Yeah, we crashed but we learned to grow.
You said “it’s okay, we’re both ass hats,”
And baby, another way our love just matches.
I was fire, you were rain,
We met in the storm and found our name.
Three nights apart—
But we came back stronger from the fallout.
[Outro – Clean / Hopeful]
You said I can yell when you saw me again,
I just laughed—said “let’s make amends.”
Maybe love’s not about being right,
It’s learning how to fight
and still want to stay the night.
