Intro - Spoken with rising guitars)
Yeah...
You were the fire I couldn’t hold,
And I’m still burning in the cold...
---
(Verse 1 - Rap)
She had eyes like the sky in the dead of December,
Tall frame, blonde hair — yeah, I still remember.
Took my heart like a thief in the night,
Lit a flame, walked away, let me drown in the fight.
We were chaos, passion, heartbreak, rage,
Words like weapons but we stayed in the cage.
She had chances, chances to stay,
But kept throwing them out, pushing me away.
---
(Pre-Chorus - Clean Vocal)
But I held on like a fool in the dark,
Still chasing the ghost of a flame and a spark.
And even now when I know we’re apart...
She’s still got my heart.
---
(Chorus - Screamed/Growled with clean backing)
We weren’t perfect — we were ours,
Falling fast through broken stars!
You chose him, I broke inside,
But I wear this pain with twisted pride!
You ran, I stayed,
You healed, I frayed.
Even now, you’ll never see —
You’ll always have the best of me...
---
(Verse 2 - Rap)
Time passed, yeah, but the wounds still speak,
Your name hits my chest like a hammer each week.
You never came back, just echoes and dust,
Still I loved you through all of the rust.
You had the key, threw it deep in the sea,
Guess loyalty dies when you’re not with me.
Was it love or just some game you played?
Either way, I was the price you paid.
---
(Bridge - Spoken into heavy build-up)
You could’ve fixed it...
God, you had so many chances.
But you’d rather run...
You’d rather erase me...
---
(Breakdown - Heavy Metal Scream with Drop Tuning Guitar)
YOU BURIED ME ALIVE —
BUT I CRAWLED FROM THE GRAVE!
STILL SCREAMIN’ YOUR NAME
IN THE SHADOWS I BRAVE!
WE WERE NEVER RIGHT —
BUT WE WERE NEVER WRONG,
AND I’LL BLEED THIS LOVE
IN EVERY FIN’ SONG!*
---
(Final Chorus - Clean then Screamed)
We weren’t perfect — we were ours,
Falling fast through broken stars!
You chose him, I broke inside,
But I wear this pain with twisted pride!
You ran, I stayed,
You healed, I frayed.
Even now, you’ll never see —
You’ll always have the best of me...
---
(Outro - Soft, melancholic)
Still dream of you some nights...
Still feel you in the silence.
We weren’t perfect...
But we were our kind of perfect.
