HER:
Do you remember when forever felt easy?
HIM:
Yeah…
Before we started keeping score.
HER:
Before every silence meant something.
HIM:
Before we forgot what we were fighting for.

[VERSE 1 — HIM, RAP]
I remember midnight, Raising Cane’s at my place
Looking in your eyes and seeing love in your face
Said, “Baby, we could do this every night,”
I said, “Fuck it, if it’s with you, then I’m alright.”
We’d stay up talking till the sunrise hit the blinds,
Trading pieces of our history, exposing all our minds,
You told me things you’d never told another soul,
I told you all my broken parts and watched you make ’em whole.
Jersey Shore on the television, tangled in your arms,
Your head against my chest, somehow nothing felt so hard,
And Punchbowl social, trading stories over drinks 
Talking ‘bout the places we’d go,
Talking ’bout our names.
You said you trusted me.
I said I’d never leave.
Two idiots in love believing
love was all we’d ever need.
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS — HER, MELODIC]
And I believed you…
I really did.
Every word you whispered,
Every promise that you made.
You made me feel so free,
Like I could finally breathe,
Like maybe all the pieces
Had been waiting there for me.
⸻
[CHORUS — BOTH]
HER:
We were fire after midnight,
Two hearts afraid of daylight,
Saying “this could be forever,”
Like forever wasn’t frightening.
HIM:
I would’ve bet my life on you,
Swore there wasn’t shit we couldn’t get through—
HER:
We’re not young anymore, it could be our last chance
BOTH:til the curtain started falling
And we didn’t see it coming.
[VERSE 2 — HIM, RAP]
Then the little things started changing in the margins,
Nothing big enough to call it, just a feeling getting darker.
You’d ask me where I’d been, I’d tell you, you’d go quiet,
I’d ask you what was wrong, you’d say, “Nothing,” then deny it.
And I started noticing the distance in your eyes,
How you could be beside me and still somehow miles away.
We stopped talking until morning about dreams,
Started talking about bills, mistakes, and who was right.
You’d say I wasn’t listening.
I’d say you never spoke.
You’d say I didn’t understand.
I’d say, “Then help me fucking know.”
every conversation became a courtroom in disguise,
Every answer needed evidence,
Every question felt like lies.
⸻
[HER — MELODIC, RESTRAINED]
I wasn’t trying to accuse you…
I was scared.
And when I asked you where you’d been,
I wasn’t saying you weren’t there.
I just needed you to tell me
that I was still the one,
That the man who held me close at night
hadn’t already gone.
⸻
[HIM — QUIETER RAP]
But every question felt like doubt.
Every doubt became a wall.
Every wall became a reason
not to tell you shit at all.
And that’s the part that kills me—
I knew what silence did.
I knew exactly what it meant to you.
I just didn’t know how to fix it.
⸻
[CHORUS — BOTH, SLIGHTLY MORE DISTANT]
HER:
We were fire after midnight,
Two hearts afraid of daylight,
Saying “this could be forever,”
Now forever feels like fighting.
