[Intro]
Yeah, we were a firework, lighting up the night
But now I see the sparks, fading out of sight
[Verse 1]
We were a melody, playing sweet and slow
Back in the day, had that glow, now I just know
Shadows grow where your love used to shine
Caught in the echo, trying to untie the line
[Pre-Chorus]
Thought we had a map, but the roads have turned
Reflections in my mirror, lessons learned
You should have known, we were a shooting star
Burning bright, then gone, left a scar
[Chorus]
Thought you’d think twice, like a record on repeat
Should’ve played it safe, now I gotta retreat
You had me like a CD, spinning round and round
Now I’m just a verse, lost in the sound
Oh, think twice, babe, before you let love slip away
Shoulda been a hit, now I’m fading to gray
You should have known, oh, how to stay in line
Now I gotta move on, leave it behind
[Verse 2]
We were a river, flowing wild and free
Took me down to the deep, now I can't breathe
Your love was a tide, pulling me in
Now I’m washed ashore, trying to start again
[Pre-Chorus]
Thought we had a groove, but the beat hit a wall
Now I see the cracks, and I hear the call
You should have known, we were a faded song
Hitting every wrong note all along
[Chorus]
Thought you’d think twice, like a record on repeat
Should’ve played it safe, now I gotta retreat
You had me like a CD, spinning round and round
Now I’m just a verse, lost in the sound
Oh, think twice, babe, before you let love slip away
Shoulda been a hit, now I’m fading to gray
You should have known, oh, how to stay in line
Now I gotta move on, leave it behind
[Bridge]
We were a spark, barely flickering, but so bright
Now the flame’s gone out, lost in the night
Guess some lyrics are better left unsung
Time to find my song, where I belong
[Outro]
Yeah, I’m turning the page, closing the door
Once was magic, now it's folklore
Thought you’d think twice, but I played my part
Now I’m stepping out, chasing my heart
