[Intro – airy, distant harmonies]
(Female – soft, close)
My love story… is a tug of war…
(Male – faint, echoing)
I was there… then I was gone…
⸻
[Verse 1 – Female]
My love story is a tug of war,
You pull away, I feel it more…
When I reach, you disappear,
Leave your shadow lingering here…
You turn ghost, I zombify,
Half-alive, I don’t know why…
Still I stay, still I feel,
Something broken, something real…
⸻
[Verse 2 – Male – gentle, regretful]
I didn’t know how to stay still,
Every touch felt too real…
So I faded, slipped away,
Left you words I couldn’t say…
Through your silence, I could hear,
Everything I chose to fear…
I was close but never brave,
Now I’m lost in what we gave…
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Both, layered softly]
(Female)
Through the silence… you remain…
(Male)
Through the distance… feel the same…
(Both)
We were never… in one place…
Always love… without a space…
⸻
[Chorus – Both, emotional blend]
We were a tug of war…
Never where we are…
Pulling hearts apart…
Love became a scar…
(Female lead)
You were never mine…
(Male echo)
I was passing time…
(Both)
Still we feel the breath…
In the space we left…
⸻
[Verse 3 – Female]
You slipped through walls I couldn’t break,
I held on to every ache…
Smiling at your ghosted lines,
Reading meaning between signs…
Chanted like a quiet curse,
Time repeats but always worse…
Every word, a seed you threw,
Now it blooms without you…
⸻
[Verse 4 – Male – softer, almost confession]
I hear your name inside the breeze,
In the hush between the trees…
Every step I take alone,
Feels like walking back to home…
But the courage never came,
I was dancing with my shame…
Now the silence speaks for me,
In the things I couldn’t be…
⸻
[Bridge – poetic, intertwining voices]
(Female)
Time… a patient gravedigger…
Turns my bones to something bigger…
(Male)
I buried love I couldn’t hold…
Now it haunts me in the cold…
(Female)
Roots will grow where pain once lived…
I became what you couldn’t give…
(Both)
From the loss… something grew…
But it never held us two…
⸻
[Final Chorus – fuller, emotional peak]
We were a tug of war…
Now we are no more…
(Female)
I became the land…
(Male)
I got lost in sand…
(Both)
You were never mine…
Just a fragile sign…
Still the wind will carry…
What we left behind…
⸻
[Outro – whispered exchange]
(Male – distant)
I still hear you… in the wind…
(Female – grounded, calm)
I became the place you’ve been…
(Both – fading)
In the silence… in the trees…
Love remains… in memories…
(Female – final whisper)
You never had the courage…
to kiss me…
