[Female Vocal][Verse 1 — Her]
(soft, haunting tone)
(Her) — You call me when the night’s too quiet,
Whiskey breath and heart on fire,
I whisper “no,” but you know I’ll stay,
Caught between the want and the wire.
[Male Vocal][Verse 1 — Him]
(aching, deep tone)
(Him) — I see your face in every shadow,
Taste your name on every sin,
You wear his ring, but I wear your memory,
Burning deeper under my skin.
[Male & Female Vocal][Pre-Chorus — Both]
(whispered overlap)
(Both) — We’re poison, we’re prayer, we’re holy lies,
Chained by love we can’t deny.
[Male & Female Vocal][Chorus — Both]
(Both) — In another life, I’d pull you close,
No walls, no vows, no ghost between us.
In this one, I just drown slow,
Craving the fire that’ll never free us.
You’re my heaven I can’t touch,
My beautiful sin I miss too much.
[Female Vocal][Verse 2 — Her]
(Her) — I wear silence like perfume,
Dream of you when he’s asleep,
Your voice in my veins like a slow confession,
A secret I was born to keep.
[Male Vocal][Verse 2 — Him]
(Him) — I haunt my bed with echoes,
Your name the sweetest curse I know,
I’d sell my soul to hold you once more,
But hell already feels like home.
[Male & Female Vocal][Chorus — Both]
(Him) — In another life, I’d pull you close,
(Her) — No chains, no fear, no need to hide us.
(Him) — In this one, I just fade slow,
(Her) — Buried alive where desire finds us.
(Him) — You’re my heaven I can’t touch,
(Her) — My beautiful sin I miss too much.
[Male & Female Vocal][Bridge — Both, alternating lines]
(Her) — You’re the breath I can’t inhale.
(Him) — You’re the dream I can’t unveil.
(Her) — If love’s a crime, I’ve done my time.
(Him) — Still serving yours inside my mind.
[Male & Female Vocal][Final Chorus — Both, layered vocals]
In another life, we’d break the spell,
Raise our love from this quiet hell.
But tonight I’ll love you in my head,
And wake alone in your stead.
[Male Vocal][Outro — Him, whispering]
You live your life…
I live my demons.
