Verse 1]
We met in the quiet of a thunderstorm
You said my name like it meant something more
Laughing in the backseat, wild and free
But love like ours don’t come with guarantees
Your records on my bedroom floor
We dreamed of cities we'd never explore
You held me like the world would end
But some stories don’t restart again
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm tracing all the signs I missed
Your silence echoes louder than a kiss
[Chorus]
Thought forever was in your eyes
I must’ve lied to myself
Maybe we were too different
Maybe we weren’t — guess we’ll never know
We burned bright and we burned fast
Now we're just a ghost from the past
I gave my all, but I let you go
And maybe that’s love…
Or maybe not — guess we’ll never know
[Verse 2]
You said I felt like home, then ran
Built our future in the sand
Watched it wash away with time
Leaving nothing but your last goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
Now your voice is just a distant song
I still hum it when I’m holding on
[Chorus]
Thought forever was in your eyes
I must’ve lied to myself
Maybe we were too different
Maybe we weren’t — guess we’ll never know
We burned bright and we burned fast
Now we're just a ghost from the past
I gave my all, but I let you go
And maybe that’s love…
Or maybe not — guess we’ll never know
[Bridge]
What if we met at a different time?
What if love had just one more try?
But life don’t play those kinds of songs
It just plays the one where you’re gone
[Final Chorus – stripped back]
Thought forever was in your eyes
I must’ve lied to myself
Maybe we were too different
Maybe we weren’t — guess we’ll never know
We burned bright, and we burned fast
Now I'm just learning from the past
I loved you deep, I let you go
And maybe that’s brave…
Or maybe not — guess we’ll never know
