BETWEEN WHAT WE WERE

(Soft acoustic guitar intro, light piano underneath, distant humming)

⸻

Verse 1 (Member 1)

Two hearts that once built something real
Now standing somewhere in between
A history written through the years
And everything that might have been

We shared the quiet of the late nights
The laughter echoing through rooms
Dreams about a future waiting
Somewhere just beyond the moon

⸻

Verse 2 (Member 2)

Life grew heavier than we planned
The weight of everything we carried
Words began to miss their meaning
And silence slowly grew between us

One tried to hold the pieces steady
Through moments that felt hard to face
The other struggled with emotions
Not always sure how to show the space

⸻

Pre-Chorus (Member 3)

And time kept moving without asking
Still something never disappeared

⸻

Chorus (Full Band — strong harmonies)

Now we’re standing in the middle
Of the past and where we are
Not the same as who we once were
Still connected through the scars

Every silence, every moment
Every memory we knew

We’re somewhere between what we were
And what the future wants to do

(Backing harmonies)
ohhh…
between what we were…

⸻

Verse 3 (Member 4)

Life kept moving after everything
Different roads, different days
But some conversations still feel
Like the way they used to play

Sometimes warmth comes out of nowhere
Like the past is still alive
Like two hearts slowly circling
With words they never say out loud

⸻

Pre-Chorus (Members 1 & 3 together)

Maybe time is teaching patience
Maybe healing takes its space

⸻

Chorus (Full Band)

Now we’re standing in the middle
Of the past and where we are
Not the same as who we once were
Still connected through the scars

Every silence, every moment
Every memory we knew

We’re somewhere between what we were
And what the future wants to do

⸻

Bridge (Member 2 softly → band joins)

And in the middle of the story
There’s a little life we made
A reminder of the love
That never fully fades

(Members 3 & 4 join)

When her laughter fills the room
For a moment we both see
That something bigger than the past
Still ties you close to me

(Backing humming)
mmm…
mmm…

⸻

Final Chorus (Full Band — emotional lift)

Now we’re standing in the middle
Of the past and where we are
Not the same as who we once were
Still connected through the scars

Maybe closure, maybe friendship
Maybe something time will prove

But we’re somewhere between what we were
And the life we’re moving through

⸻
