Prompt / Lyrics
(Intro – piano + clean guitar, spacious) I was sitting in a booth At the back of the restaurant When your smile came walking in I thought to myself oh yeah It’s just like the movies I felt the chemicals rush in ⸻ (Verse 1 – piano driven, soft drums enter halfway) Then in walks behind you A tall dark and handsome I felt my chances Growing thin He leaned in to kiss you And I had to look away Feeling small Compared to him ⸻ (Verse 2 – add bass + gentle guitar swells) I stirred my coffee slowly Like time would wait beside me Steam rising Like dreams in my head You laughed at something I knew I could’ve said But every perfect line Stayed unsaid I traced the scratches On that worn out tabletop Like roads that Fade in the rain Wondering if courage Is something we’re born with Or something we lose In the pain ⸻ (Pre-Chorus – harmony stack begins) And I kept rehearsing Words I’d never say A thousand little chances That slipped away (Background vocals echo last phrase: “slipped away…”) ⸻ (Chorus – full arena lift, power drums + electric guitar + layered vocals) You were never mine to lose Still it felt like losing Watching from the shadows While the world kept moving Somewhere between maybe And what might have been I watched forever Walk in with him (Gang harmony on last line) Walk in… with him ⸻ (Verse 3 – pull back slightly, piano + strings pad) Your hand found his Like it always belonged there Easy as breathing Soft and sincere I caught my reflection In the window beside me A stranger pretending She didn’t care The waitress asked softly If I needed anything I said just the check And maybe the night She smiled like she knew That familiar ending Where almost love Never takes flight ⸻ (Bridge – emotional peak, key change optional) But maybe this moment Was never about you Maybe it’s courage I’m meant to pursue Maybe the lesson Inside all this ache Is love isn’t timing It’s chances we take So I stepped outside With the neon and rain Heart wide open To feeling again (Big harmony swell on “again”) ⸻ (Final Chorus – biggest arrangement, sustained notes + ad libs) You were never mine to lose But you woke something in me A quiet kind of bravery I couldn’t see Somewhere between maybe And letting it end I found the part of me That might try again (Ad lib vocal layer: “try again… try again…”) ⸻ (Outro – piano reprise, soft electric guitar sustain) I walked past that window One last time alone But the night felt lighter On the way home
