[Intro – cold, echoing] We were written like a warning, Not a fairytale pretend… I should’ve known a story built on fire Only burns you in the end. (Whispered hook) Nobody wins… nobody wins… ⸻ [Verse 1 – enemies → lovers] You were the match, I was the open flame, Striking sparks just to hear you say my name. We cursed each other first, then kissed like war, Two bruised hearts begging for something more. Your hands shook when you touched me in the dark, Like you knew I’d leave a permanent mark. I loved you like danger, you loved me like sin— We never stood a chance to win. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] We built a kingdom out of smoke and blame, Holding broken crowns, refusing to change. ⸻ [Chorus – downfall begins] ’Cause no one wins, no one makes it out clean, We tore down everything we swore we’d keep. Enemies, lovers, then enemies again— We killed the best of us trying to pretend. No heroes, no glory, no sweet bitter end… Just ashes of a war too proud to mend. No one wins… No one wins in the end. (Post-chorus hook – haunting) Nobody wins… nobody wins… You lose me / I lose you / we lose everything… ⸻ [Verse 2 – breaking point + unrequited] I used your fears against you like a blade, You used my hope as a game you played. We knew each other’s weaknesses too well— And we pulled the trigger the second we fell. The breaking point came like a quiet scream— You said “leave,” and I did, But I didn’t leave clean. Now you’re fine in the daylight, a lie you defend, While I’m haunted by a ghost I can’t forget. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] We kept the wounds instead of keeping trust, Turned everything holy into rust. ⸻ [Chorus – darker, heavier] No one wins, no one walks away whole, We’re both carrying a heart we can’t control. Enemies, lovers, then enemies again— We turned our heaven into a dead end. No victories here, nothing left to defend— Just two broken mirrors refusing to bend. No one wins… No one wins in the end. (Post-chorus hook) Nobody wins… nobody wins… We lose us / you lose me / I lose you again… ⸻ [Bridge – the brutal truth] If you reached for me now, I’d flinch from your touch, If I begged you to stay, you wouldn’t feel much. We’re too shattered to fix, too wounded to try— You love me the least when I’m breaking the most inside. Maybe we were doomed long before we began— Just a tragedy rehearsed by two stubborn hands. (Ad-libs: “too far gone… too far gone…”) ⸻ [Final Chorus – empty resignation] No one wins, no one makes this right, We’re both shadows standing where there once was light. Enemies to lovers to enemies again— Watching the credits roll where we should’ve been. Too deep to repair, too hurt to pretend— Too ruined to restart, too broken to end. No one wins… No one wins in the end. ⸻ [Outro – whispered, fading] Some love stories die before they begin. This is where we fade to black… No one wins. Nobody wins… nobody wins…
