We were alive

“WE WERE ALIVE”

Intro (soft, intimate)

(breathy, close mic)

Hold me in the echo

Before it fades away

⸻

Verse 1

I still taste the night on my lips

Salt and tears, electric skin

We were sparks in a darkened room

Trying to make something true

You said love don’t come with rules

I believed every word you used

I gave you my quiet parts

You gave me stars and scars

⸻

Pre-Chorus (lift)

If this is all we get

Then I’ll feel it all the way

I don’t need a promise

Just don’t let this slip away

⸻

Chorus / Drop

We were alive

When the lights fell down

Hearts on fire, lost in the sound

We were alive

No fear, no disguise

If this is goodbye

At least we were alive

(instrumental drop — emotional, wide, soaring)

⸻

Post-Drop Hook

Alive…

We were alive…

⸻

Verse 2

I learned your heartbeat by the bass

Every breath, I felt your faith

We were dancing on the edge

Of something more, of something left

Time moves fast when you feel deep

Every high comes with the grief

If I had to lose you now

I’d still choose us anyhow

⸻

Pre-Chorus 2

If love’s a fire that burns too bright

I’d still stand in the flame

I don’t need forever

Just something real to say

⸻

Chorus / Drop

We were alive

When the world stood still

Hands in the sky, chasing the thrill

We were alive

No wrong, no right

If this is the end

At least we felt life

(drop hits harder, layered harmonies)

⸻

Bridge (breakdown – raw & soulful)

I don’t regret the way it hurt

That’s how I know it mattered

I don’t regret the fall from grace

That’s how I learned to shatter

And maybe love is just a moment

That teaches us to breathe

If I lose you in the morning

You’ll still be part of me

⸻

Final Chorus / Outro Drop

We were alive

In the heat of the night

Broken and beautiful, burning so bright

We were alive

And that’s enough for me

If nothing else stays

This memory will be

(outro vocal, soft)

We were alive…

Yeah… we were alive.
