[intro soft guitar picking with echoing piano notes]
Verse 1:
They say love is just a game,
Like it’s something easy to change.
Trade it in, swap it out,
Till they can’t feel what it’s about.
They chase thrills, they chase highs,
But love’s more than butterflies.
It’s not just words or empty lines,
It’s the fire that stands through time.
[background harmonies come in on last two lines]
Chorus:
True love knows, it never fades,
Through the highs and darkest days.
(Oh-oh) [female harmony], it’s the strength that lifts you up,
(Yeah-yeah) [male harmony], more than just a passing touch.
It’s the warmth in the coldest night,
The reason that you’ll stand and fight.
True love knows, it’s something deep,
The promises you hold and keep.
[soft guitar riff with echo effect]
Verse 2:
They throw the word around like it’s free,
But love is rare, a mystery.
Not a game, not just a thrill,
It’s what keeps us grounded still.
[background whisper] (grounded still...)
They don’t see the scars it takes,
Or the beauty that heartache makes.
But I know love, I’ve seen its face,
In every moment and every trace.
[vocal echo on (trace), layered with faint harmonies]
Chorus:
True love knows, it never fades,
Through the highs and darkest days.
(Oh-oh) [female harmony, higher octave], it’s the strength that lifts you up,
(Yeah-yeah) [male harmony, lower octave], more than just a passing touch.
It’s the warmth in the coldest night,
The reason that you’ll stand and fight.
[background harmony] (Stand and fight...)
True love knows, it’s something deep,
The promises you hold and keep.
[instrumental bridge with gentle strings and soft piano]
Bridge:
It’s patient, kind, and never boasts,
Through every trial, it holds you close.
Not just a spark that fades away,
But a fire that lights your way.
[background harmony, layered with hums]
It’s scars, it’s trust, it’s every tear,
It’s the voice that says, “I’m here.”
[echoed whisper] (I’m here…)
[gentle bass beat fades in with male and female layered vocals on the line] (I’m here)
Chorus (x2):
True love knows, it never fades,
Through the highs and darkest days.
(Oh-oh) [female harmony, soaring high], it’s the strength that lifts you up,
(Yeah-yeah) [male harmony, grounding low], more than just a passing touch.
It’s the warmth in the coldest night,
The reason that you’ll stand and fight.
True love knows, it’s something deep,
The promises you hold and keep.
[outro soft guitar strumming with fading piano melody, hums slowly fade out]
