Verse 1
Twenty years in the same bed
Same street, same “how was your day”
We learned each other’s silences
Before we learned what not to say
Kids’ drawings on the fridge door
Ring marks on the kitchen table
We built a life on promises
That somehow didn’t stay stable
Pre-Chorus
We grew up, but not the same
Love changed, but no one’s to blame
Chorus
After twenty years, we’re letting go
Not ’cause we hate each other, no
We just stopped reaching for the same dreams
Somewhere in between
After twenty years, we’re breaking vows
With gentle hands, no shouting now
It hurts in ways I can’t explain
But love shouldn’t feel like chains
Verse 2
We used to dance in the living room
Bare feet, slow songs, midnight laughs
Now we talk like careful strangers
Afraid of stepping on the past
We tried fixing what was broken
Stayed longer than we should’ve stayed
Sometimes love means knowing
When it’s kinder to walk away
Pre-Chorus
I still know the shape of your heart
Even if we’re falling apart
Chorus
After twenty years, we’re letting go
Not ’cause we hate each other, no
We just stopped reaching for the same dreams
Somewhere in between
After twenty years, we’re breaking vows
With gentle hands, no shouting now
It hurts in ways I can’t explain
But love shouldn’t feel like chains
Bridge (spoken/sung, stripped back)
You were my home
And maybe you always will be
Just not in the way
We promised we’d be
Final Chorus
After twenty years, I still care
I still wish you peace out there
We gave the best of who we were
Now we’re learning who we are
After twenty years, I won’t forget
The love we had, the life we made
This isn’t failure, this is grace
Two hearts choosing a different pace
Outro
Twenty years…
Thank you for the love we gave
