🎵 30 Days and Counting
(Verse 1)
It’s been a long road of silence,
Thirty days and counting down.
You’re still haunting every whisper,
Every echo in this town.
The bed still squeaks in rhythm,
Though your laughter’s gone from here,
And I still feel your heartbeat
In the ghosts of yesteryear.
(Pre-Chorus)
Timing’s cruel, it never waits,
Love don’t always show up straight,
But I’d trade the pain for one more night
In those dark bar corners, candlelight.
(Chorus)
Thirty days and counting,
Since I heard your voice again,
Since our tears mixed with the laughter,
And our fire burned through the rain.
Every dream’s a reel of memories—
The joy, the scars, the sound,
Of a love that shook the floorboards—
Thirty days and counting down.
(Verse 2)
There’s still carpet burns and secrets
Written deep into my skin,
Every touch, a flash of thunder
From where your world met mine again.
I pour two drinks and watch one sit,
Like a ghost across the glass,
And wonder if you think of me
In a hot bath full of past.
(Pre-Chorus)
They say love fades but they don’t know,
How the embers burn so slow,
Every night I count the stars,
And curse how near, how far you are.
(Chorus)
Thirty days and counting,
Since the clock began to spin,
Since I swore I’d keep my promise,
Not to call or cave back in.
Still your laughter shakes the silence,
Your perfume haunts this town,
I’m just holding out for day thirty-one—
Thirty days and counting down.
(Bridge)
I see us tangled in the sheets,
Hear the creak that knew our names,
The way we burned so bright, so fast,
Too wild for love to tame.
Maybe someday time will turn,
And find our hearts aligned,
But ‘til that day I’ll wait and ache,
In the wreckage you left behind.
(Final Chorus)
Thirty days and counting,
Still your ghost lies next to me,
In the laughter, in the aching,
In the dreams I can’t unsee.
If love was just bad timing,
Then I’ll wear that crown,
Thirty days and counting, love—
And I’m still breaking down.
