[Verse 1 — Female Lead, Harmony (soft, low)]
I felt the spark that lit the night
A fire wild, burning bright
But flames can cool and hearts can stray
A fleeting warmth that fades away
[Chorus — Female Lead, Echo/Harmony]
Oh the weight, it pulls the tide
Crashing waves I try to hide
Thought you were the home I’d stay
Just another step along the way
[Verse 2 — Male Lead, Female Harmony (high, soft)]
Your voice was velvet in my ears
But velvet fades through worn-out years
Your touch once light now burns within
A lesson traced in where we’ve been
[Chorus — Male Lead, Female Echo/Harmony]
Oh the weight, it pulls the tide
Crashing waves I try to hide
Thought you were the home I’d stay
Just another step along the way
[Bridge — Shared Lead / Layered Vocals, Soft Overlap]
Strings of hope and chords of pain
Play this tune again and again
Sweet mistakes that leave a stain
Yet teach a heart how to sustain
[Final Chorus — Fully Blended Duet / Layered, Emotional]
Oh the weight, it pulls the tide
Crashing waves we try to hide
Thought you were the home I’d stay
Just another step along the way
