(Male - soft, outlaw cadence)
Didn’t notice when you walked away, I was drunk on my reflection.
Every word I didn’t say, another ghost in my collection.
I built walls, you built escape routes,
Now I sleep inside the echoes of your doubts.
(Male - low, regretful storyteller)
I was the villain in my own love story,
Played with matches, burned the glory.
Didn’t see the wreck I made till the smoke hit home,
Now I’m whispering your name through a dial tone.
(Female - sorrowful, soft rock vocal)
You said you needed space to breathe,
But you left me gasping underneath.
I patched my heart with shattered dreams,
And learned your silence says what it means.
(Both - powerful, blended harmony)
We burned bright, then fell apart,
Ashes carved across our hearts.
Through the ruin, your shadow stayed,
Can love rise from what we decayed?
(Male - heavier, defiant outlaw vocal)
I chased every ghost just to drown the guilt,
Tore down the life that we could’ve built.
Tried to scream but I lost my sound,
Now your memory’s chains keep dragging me down.
(Female - strong, angry rock vocal)
You talk about ghosts, but I learned to fight,
I danced with my pain till it turned to light.
You think redemption can buy my trust?
Then earn it in blood, not words and dust.
(Both - powerful, blended harmony)
We burned bright, then turned to stone,
Two souls too proud to call it home.
But in the storm, I hear your tone—
A promise whispering, “Don’t die alone.”
(Male - fast, emotional outlaw vocal)
I found the letters you left behind,
Every line a blade in my mind.
You said love’s a war, not a vow,
And I’m waving a white flag now.
(Female - raw rock vocal to melodic)
I wanted you to bleed just once for me,
To feel what your silence used to be.
But even fury fades with time,
And I still wear your name in rhyme.
(Male - desperate, raw outlaw shout)
I’d crawl through the fire, rebuild what’s lost,
Pay every price, no matter the cost.
I’m done being blind to what I had,
Every heartbeat screams, “Come back.”
(Female - soft, emotional rock vocal)
I’m tired of hate, it’s wearing thin,
The scars remind me where we’ve been.
If home still waits in your broken eyes,
Maybe it’s time to stop the lies.
(Male - pleading)
I’d rewrite fate if it set you free.
(Female - forgiving, breathy)
Maybe freedom means forgiving me.
(Male - strained)
I was the storm you couldn’t outrun.
(Female - calm)
But storms break too beneath the sun.
(Both - rising, powerful harmony)
We burned bright, and we still remain,
Rising up through loss and pain.
Our ghosts still dance inside the flame,
But maybe love’s still whispering our names.
(Female - soft)
You were lost, but so was I…
(Male - low harmony)
I was broken, but I’ll still try.
(Together - fading)
Maybe the ashes can learn to fly.
