[Intro: Soft Acoustic Guitar & Pink Noise]
(Mmm... nobody posts the part where it breaks)
Listen close now
[Verse 1: Intimate Close-Mic Vocals]
Kids in the same old blocks, traded notes in class
Swore that first love would make it last
Grabbed the ring, said “forever” on a Tuesday night
It looked so clean, shining under tired lights
But every story has a crack where the pretty part gets lost
[Pre-Chorus: Rhythmic Stomps & Synths]
And that’s the thing about you, I still make the big leap
Letting my guard come down, losing my sleep
Knowing one word from you can change the shape I’m in
[Vocal Stutter] (Sh-sh-shaking to the bone!)
[Chorus: Explosive Dark-Pop Belt & Harmonies]
But in the end... it’s your move, your move!
I clear the table, cut the cord, nothing left to prove!
Caught between the old excuse and the version set free
Fairytale lovers, yeah, the frame won’t hold
And I’m a ghost in the hallway, waiting on your go!
[Verse 2: Snappy, Melancholy Neo-Soul]
Then one bad night hit hard: headlights, metal, glass
A drunk driver crossed the line and took it fast
She woke up with missing pieces, his name in the soot
He kept showing up, reading stories from their youth
Trying to wake up something in her that still knew it was true
[Chorus: Explosive Dark-Pop Belt & Harmonies]
But in the end... it’s your move, your move!
I clear the table, cut the cord, nothing left to prove!
Caught between the old excuse and the version set free
Fairytale lovers, yeah, the frame won’t hold
And I’m a ghost in the hallway, waiting on your go!
[Bridge / Outro: Alt-Rock Climax to Slow Fade]
I stood in the silence, staring at the wall
I’m not living in the rubble, I’m choosing mine
I’m breaking out, I’m calling it, I’m cutting the line!
No more waiting. My head is clear.
If you want me, say it now.
Fairytale lovers no more.
(Mmm... I won't stand here for you.)
[Fade Out]
