(Verse 1)
We built a home out of borrowed light,
Held each other through the hardest nights.
You took my hand when the world got loud,
And I pulled you close when you fell to the ground.
But love’s a war that we never learned,
We gave our all until both hearts burned.
And I still see us in the summer rain —
Trying not to break again.
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
And I know we meant forever,
But meaning don’t mean we stay together.
⸻
(Chorus)
We tried, God knows we tried,
Held on while the rope pulled tight.
You and I, on the same damn side —
But love can lose even when you fight.
(Ohohohohohoo)
So I’ll run, and you’ll stay,
Both of us learning not to look your way.
It’s not wrong, it’s not right —
It’s just something we couldn’t fix
Even though we tried.
(Ohohohoohohoh)
Even though we tried.
(Ohohohoohohoho)
(Verse 2)
I still hear your keys in the hallway door,
Still see your shoes on the bedroom floor.
It’s strange how silence can feel so loud,
Like a ghost still living in the house.
We had faith but we lost the map,
I held your heart, but I gave it back.
’Cause loving you was a burning star —
Beautiful, but falling apart.
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
And we both know how it ends,
With two lovers turning into friends.
⸻
(Chorus)
We tried, God knows we tried,
Held on while the rope pulled tight.
You and I, on the same damn side —
But love can lose even when you fight.
(Ohohohoohoho)
So I’ll run, and you’ll stay,
Learning to breathe in a different way.
It’s not wrong, it’s not right —
It’s just something we couldn’t fix
Even though we tried.
(Ohohohoohoho)
Even through we tried.
(Ohohohohohhoo)
(Bridge)
Maybe in a different life,
We’d get it right, we’d get it right.
But here and now, we say goodbye
With open hands
Not angry eyes.
Mhmmhmm
We did our best.
And that was love.
Ohohoohohohohoo
Ohohohohohoohohoooooo
(Chorus)
We tried, God knows we tried,
Held on while the rope pulled tight.
You and I, on the same damn side —
But love can lose even when you fight.
(Ohohohoohoho)
So I’ll run, and you’ll stay,
Learning to breathe in a different way.
It’s not wrong, it’s not right —
It’s just something we couldn’t fix
Even though we tried.
(Ohohohoohoho)
Even through we tried.
(Ohohohohohhoo)
We tried, God knows we tried,
Gave our hearts and paid the price.
You and I, once fire and light —
Now just two people learning how to survive.
(Ohohohohohohohooo)
So I’ll run, and you’ll stay,
But I’ll carry you with me anyway.
It’s not wrong, it’s not right —
It’s just something we couldn’t fix
Even though we tried.
Even though we tried.
