[Verse 1]
How can love
Or any chance
Ever fly
When you’re dragging every wing through why
Darlin’
You keep sinking
Eyes turned down
Below the surface where the light drowns out
[Pre-Chorus]
I laid it bare
Every fear
Every plan
You held my hand like you still gave a damn
[Chorus]
How can love have a chance to fly
When you’re dialing ghosts on the other line
I said
“this could be the love of a lifetime”
You stared straight through me
Didn’t even try
How can love
Or any hope
Survive
When darlin’
You’re already somewhere else tonight
I told you
“this could be the love of a lifetime”
Then you called him
And cut my sky
[Verse 2]
You say timing
I say truth
You say “maybe”
I gave proof
Every open door
You turn aside
Chasing what left you a thousand times
[Pre-Chorus]
I drew a future on your kitchen floor
You turned away just to text him more (yeah)
[Chorus]
How can love have a chance to fly
When you’re dialing ghosts on the other line
I said
“this could be the love of a lifetime”
You stared straight through me
Didn’t even try
How can love
Or any hope
Survive
When darlin’
You’re already somewhere else tonight
I told you
“this could be the love of a lifetime”
Then you called him
And cut my sky
[Bridge]
Maybe you’re scared of what you might find
If you stopped running through your old life
But I can’t swim forever in your tide
While you reach for someone on the other side (oh)
[Chorus]
How can love have a chance to fly
When you’re dialing ghosts on the other line
I said
“this could be the love of a lifetime”
You watched it fade
Didn’t even try
How can love
Or any hope
Survive
When darlin’
You’re already somewhere else tonight
I told you
“this could be the love of a lifetime”
Then you called him
And left ours to die
