Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] We learned each other's coffee cups Your crooked teeth My nervous laugh Paint on the kids' room Year by year Sunday lists on yellow pads You held my wrist through sleepless fevers I kissed your scars You nursed my pride All those seasons at the same small table Two worn chairs Side by side [Chorus] Tell me again We were always on the same page Tell me again Every vow held every day I built my heart around your promise Brick by gentle brick Now every memory cuts and twists Side by side Was it all like this? [Verse 2] Hospital light on your pale blue veins TV humming Flowers tired I read your favorite book out loud Lost my place when my throat caught fire You smiled slow Said “I’m not afraid Just hold my hand I’ll be alright” Then you turned to him Your lifeline "Anything you need to say Say it tonight" [Chorus] Tell me again We were always on the same page Tell me again Every vow held every day I built my heart around your promise Brick by gentle brick Now every memory cuts and twists Side by side Was it all like this? [Bridge] He said her name Like it lived inside him Like a song he'd hidden in his teeth (oh God) “Once I broke you Long ago With someone you will never meet” My throat went dry The room grew smaller Your fingers flinched inside my own You tried to speak But the line went flat Your hand went slack And I was alone [Chorus] Tell me again That we lived an honest story Tell me again That love is more than faded glory I gave my lifetime to your silence Year by careful year Now every soft and common day Feels sharp and strange in here Side by side in every photo Side by side in every lie I’m the widow and the stranger Same red eyes Tell me again We were always on the same page Because you waited Till her very last breath To say your betrayal's name

Intimate indie ballad with female vocals, close-mic’d and fragile. Soft fingerpicked acoustic and warm upright piano carry the verses; subtle brushed snare and low pads bloom in the chorus. Bridge strips back to solo voice and sparse chords for maximum tension, then full band swells on the final chorus with layered harmonies and a slightly distorted guitar bed to underline the emotional rupture.
