Verse 1
(soft, almost spoken)
One minute… we’re smiling… mmm… feels so right.
(pause, lean in)
The next… just one word… turns day… into night.
(slight swell)
I love you… but baby… I’m tired deep inside…
(long breath)
Of the same old storms… pushin’ us to opposite sides.
⸻
Pre-Chorus
(soft build, voice warms)
I’m prayin’… we tear down… these walls we made…
(small pause, steady breath)
Find our way back… before this love… fades.
(sustain softly)
We were meant… to be two hearts… beatin’ as one…
(hold note 2 counts)
Not driftin’ apart… ‘til the love… is gone.
⸻
Chorus
(full voice, passionate)
We gotta do better… together…
(brief breath)
Hold on strong… through the storm… and weather…
(linger)
Don’t let this… be the end… of our story…
(more breath in, strong)
‘Cause I still believe… in love’s true glory…
(soft drop)
Yeah… mmm… love always… stays… true.
(optional ad-lib): “Yes it does…”
⸻
Verse 2
(gentle, a bit brighter tone)
Feels like… we’re strangers… in the same space…
When we should be… wrapped up… in a warm embrace.
(long breath)
Every brick we lay… keeps us… apart…
(soft swell)
When we should be… healing… each other’s heart.
⸻
Bridge
(stronger, pleading)
Let’s tear down… every stone… in our way…
Choose to forgive… choose to stay.
(hold “fire” slightly)
Remember the fire… remember the vow…
If we believe… we can save us… now.
(optional ad-lib): “Don’t you give up on me now…”
⸻
Chorus (repeat)
(full, emotional)
We gotta do better… together…
Hold on strong… through the storm… and weather…
Don’t let this… be the end… of our story…
‘Cause I still believe… in love’s true glory…
(soft)
Yeah… mmm… love always… stays… true.
⸻
Outro
(soft, fading)
Don’t let it go… (long pause)
Don’t let it fade…
We can still make it… if we just… stay…
(whispered finish)
Love… always… stays… true.
(optional ad-libs):
• “Stay right here, baby…”
• “We can make it, yes we can…”
• “Gotta do better… together…”
