Prompt / Lyrics
**[Intro – low, rain on tin roof]** I see her face… in the quiet rain **[Verse 1]** Rain on the windshield, 2 a.m. blur Her face in the droplets, every streak a whisper of her Streetlights smear gold across the glass I can’t roll down I twist the ring, but the promise drowns **[Pre-Chorus]** I made a promise once, under a softer sky Now the words feel borrowed, like a borrowed life I thumb the band of gold, it’s warm, it’s tight Love’s a door I keep locked every night **[Chorus]** Maybe in another life Where hearts don’t break And wrong feels right We’ll dance beneath a kinder sky But not in this....life Not tonight **[Verse 2]** Her voice drifts in with the bar’s low neon glow Soft as the smoke, bright as the things I’ll never know I trace the rim of a glass I haven’t touched Some hungers stay quiet, but they still burn too much **[Pre-Chorus]** This heart still learns her name in secret code I teach it silence on the long way home I leave the porch light on, slip in without a sound Love don’t wander here, it just circles round **[Chorus]** Maybe in another life Where hearts don’t break And wrong feels right We’ll dance beneath a kinder sky But not in this....life Not tonight **[Bridge – spoken over sparse piano]** I keep the ring, keep the hours, keep the lie Keep her laughter folded where the dark can hide If I had two roads, I’d walk the one she’s on But I only get this road… and I walk it alone **[Final Chorus – fuller, cracked voice]** Maybe in another life Where hearts don’t break And wrong feels right We’ll dance beneath a kinder sky But not in this....life Not tonight Not in this life… I stay, I fight **[Outro – rain slows, single chord lingers]** Her face fades… In the quiet rain.
