(intro, Starts with a driving, slightly punky guitar riff, followed by a strong drum beat and a subtle, almost reggae-like bassline. The energy is upbeat but with an underlying tension.)
(Verse 1)
Remember late night drives, singing off-key tunes?
Now your side of the car just hums empty blues.
We painted our own world, in shades bright and bold,
Guess the canvas ripped apart, the story left untold.
(Pre-Chorus)
And I see you out sometimes, across a crowded room,
A flicker in your eyes, a ghost of our old bloom.
We both look away fast, like nothing's out of place,
But the silence screams the loudest in this lonely space.
(Chorus)
So bye for now, maybe never, that's the awkward truth,
We tangled up our futures, way back in our youth.
No use in playing victims, or pointing out the blame,
Just a messy aftermath, a bittersweet game.
(Verse 2)
Used to know your habits, your coffee every dawn,
Now another silhouette walks with you 'til morn.
It stings a little, yeah, not gonna lie, it does,
Like a favorite old t-shirt, that suddenly no longer fits us.
(Pre-Chorus)
And I hear your name dropped, in casual café chats,
A different kind of ache, where the old comfort sat.
We both pretend it's cool, this distant, polite air,
But the memory still lingers, a feeling hard to bear.
(Chorus)
So bye for now, maybe never, that's the awkward truth,
We tangled up our futures, way back in our youth.
No use in playing victims, or pointing out the blame,
Just a messy aftermath, a bittersweet game.
(Bridge)
Maybe someday down the line, we'll laugh about it all,
The drama and the tears, the rise and the great fall.
But tonight the city lights just blur through the rain,
Another chapter closed, a familiar kind of pain.
(Chorus)
So bye for now, maybe never, that's the awkward truth,
We tangled up our futures, way back in our youth.
No use in playing victims, or pointing out the blame,
Just a messy aftermath, a bittersweet game.
(Outro, The main guitar riff returns, slightly more melancholic, fading out with the drum beat.)
Bye for now... maybe never...
Yeah... just a bittersweet game...
