Verona

**[Verse 1]** I didn’t expect the sky to hold, didn’t think the birds would stay. The morning spilled like broken glass on stone we kissed on yesterday. You always said the stars were fake, just light pretending not to fade — but I believed in even that, as long as you were on your way. --- **[Chorus]** And I found you there, too quiet, too still, on the steps where love outran the will. You looked like sleep, but worse than that, your fingers cold, your mouth gone flat. And I still said “hi,” I still sat close, like I could fix it — like you’d know. --- **[Verse 2]** The vial slipped from your open hand, like trust — too late to hold again. I tried to lift you, call you back, but words don’t move the dead from men. They always said we were too much — too young, too fast, too deep, too bold — but even poison had more time than what the world let us unfold. --- **[Chorus]** And I found you there, too quiet, too still, on the steps where love outran the will. You looked like sleep, but worse than that, your fingers cold, your mouth gone flat. And I still said “hi,” I still sat close, like I could fix it — like you’d know. --- **[Bridge]** The letters you never got to send are folded in the back of my dress. And your name, your name, it keeps the echo fed. If there’s a heaven, make it dumb — just your voice and sun and thumb against my wrist again. --- **[Final Chorus]** And I found you there, too quiet, too still, on the steps where love outran the will. You looked like sleep, but worse than that, your fingers cold, your mouth gone flat. But I still stayed, I still said “love,” and kissed your lips like they’d wake up.
