Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] [M] We danced on your porch rail [M] June in your hair [M] Your laugh on my shoulder [M] Like I belonged there [M] Then one hard morning [M] You turned cold as rain [M] One minute forever [M] Next minute pain [Pre-Chorus] [M] I keep asking why [M] Why'd you let it die? [F] I keep asking too [F] But I won't tell you why [Chorus] [M] We were fire, we were gold [F] Then you let go [M] I don't know, I don't know [F] I don't know, no [M] You cut me clean [F] Left me on the floor [M] I'll never understand [F] Why you slammed that door [Verse 2] [F] I wore your old T-shirt [F] You wore my ring [F] We talked forever [F] About everything [F] Then your words got sharp [F] Like glass in my chest [F] You called me trouble [F] Said I did my best [Pre-Chorus] [F] I keep asking why [F] Why'd you let it die? [M] I keep asking too [M] But I won't tell you why [Chorus] [M] We were fire, we were gold [F] Then you let go [M] I don't know, I don't know [F] I don't know, no [M] You cut me clean [F] Left me on the floor [M] I'll never understand [F] Why you slammed that door [Bridge] [M] And yeah, I got bitter [F] And yeah, I got mean [M] But don't act like I wasn't [F] Still in the seam [M] Of every promise [F] Of every plan [M] You changed the ending [F] I still don't understand [Final Chorus] [M] We were fire, we were gold [F] Then you let go [M] I don't know, I don't know [F] I don't know, no [M] You cut me clean [F] Left me on the floor [M] I'll never understand [F] Why you slammed that door [M] You were mine, I was yours [F] Then I was a stranger [M] You got so damn cruel to me [F] And I can't outrun the anger
