**[Verse 1]** (Male)
I still remember how the truth came out,
A crack in the picture I couldn't live without.
I forgave you then, or I swore I did,
But some part of me stayed behind that door, still hid.
Now every late night, every unread call,
My mind builds a story where I lose it all.
**[Verse 2]** (Female)
I know what I broke when we first began,
I'd give back those choices any way I can.
But baby, that girl isn't standing here,
I've spent every day trying to make that clear.
When your eyes go cold and you pull away,
I'm screaming the truth but you can't hear me say—
**[Chorus]**
*(Male)* I want to believe you—
*(Female)* Then look at me now.
*(Male)* But the past keeps whispering—
*(Female)* I'll drown it out somehow.
*(Both)* We're standing on fault lines we made long ago,
Trying to build something the tremors won't throw.
If love is a bridge, then let's lay it down slow,
Stone by stone, till the shaking lets go.
**[Verse 3]** (Male)
It's not that I want to assume the worst,
It's just that the scar always aches at first.
A name on your phone and I'm back in that night,
Fighting a ghost that I know isn't right.
I hate that I do this, I hate what it means,
That you pay the price for my old bad dreams.
**[Verse 4]** (female)
I would walk through fire, I would take the fall,
I'd stand in the storm, I would risk it all.
There is nothing out there worth more than your trust,
No shadow, no secret, no stranger, no lust.
So ask me the questions, I'll answer them true,
There's no version of me that would ever hurt you.
**[Bridge]**
*(Male)* Maybe healing's not forgetting—
*(Female)* Maybe it's choosing to stay.
*(Male)* Every time the fear comes creeping—
*(Female)* We face it the same way.
*(Both)* Not you against me, but us against the doubt,
That's the only war worth fighting out.
**[Final Chorus]** (Both)
We're standing on fault lines, but look how we've grown,
The cracks in the ground taught us how to be stone.
If love is a bridge, then we've laid it down slow,
Hand in hand, and the shaking lets go.
**[Outro]**
*(Female)* I'm not going anywhere.
*(Male)* I know... I finally know.
*(Both)* We're not what we broke — we're what we chose to grow.
