Twenty years

Verse 1

Twenty years in the same bed

Same street, same “how was your day”

We learned each other’s silences

Before we learned what not to say

Kids’ drawings on the fridge door

Ring marks on the kitchen table

We built a life on promises

That somehow didn’t stay stable

Pre-Chorus

We grew up, but not the same

Love changed, but no one’s to blame

Chorus

After twenty years, we’re letting go

Not ’cause we hate each other, no

We just stopped reaching for the same dreams

Somewhere in between

After twenty years, we’re breaking vows

With gentle hands, no shouting now

It hurts in ways I can’t explain

But love shouldn’t feel like chains

Verse 2

We used to dance in the living room

Bare feet, slow songs, midnight laughs

Now we talk like careful strangers

Afraid of stepping on the past

We tried fixing what was broken

Stayed longer than we should’ve stayed

Sometimes love means knowing

When it’s kinder to walk away

Pre-Chorus

I still know the shape of your heart

Even if we’re falling apart

Chorus

After twenty years, we’re letting go

Not ’cause we hate each other, no

We just stopped reaching for the same dreams

Somewhere in between

After twenty years, we’re breaking vows

With gentle hands, no shouting now

It hurts in ways I can’t explain

But love shouldn’t feel like chains

Bridge (spoken/sung, stripped back)

You were my home

And maybe you always will be

Just not in the way

We promised we’d be

Final Chorus

After twenty years, I still care

I still wish you peace out there

We gave the best of who we were

Now we’re learning who we are

After twenty years, I won’t forget

The love we had, the life we made

This isn’t failure, this is grace

Two hearts choosing a different pace

Outro

Twenty years…

Thank you for the love we gave
