Us

Verse 1

We built a world between two hands,

Dreams we whispered, fragile plans.

Laughter echoing through the nights,

But shadows grew behind the light.

Pre-Chorus

I held on tight, afraid to fall,

You were the fire, I gave my all.

But even flames can turn to smoke,

Even strong hearts can be broke.

Chorus

This is the love we carried,

Heavy, sweet, and scarred.

The kind that leaves you bleeding,

But still defines who you are.

Through every tear, through every fight,

I’ll remember us in softer light.

This is the love,

The love we carried.

Verse 2

I learned your silence, I wore your pain,

We tried to dance in pouring rain.

I gave you pieces I can’t get back,

A love that never stayed on track.

Pre-Chorus

And when you turned, I lost my ground,

Still your name’s the sweetest sound.

We burned too bright, we burned too fast,

But some forever isn’t meant to last.

Chorus

This is the love we carried,

Heavy, sweet, and scarred.

The kind that leaves you bleeding,

But still defines who you are.

Through every tear, through every fight,

I’ll remember us in softer light.

This is the love,

The love we carried.

Bridge

I cry for what we couldn’t be,

For every ghost that lives in me.

But I don’t regret the days we tried,

Even if love and pain collide.

Final Chorus

This is the love we carried,

Bruised but never gone.

It shaped the way I’m standing,

It taught me to be strong.

And though we’re written on separate lines,

Your name is carved inside of mine.

This is the love,

The love we carried.
