[verse 1 | male vocals] Out on the park bench one where I met you then Then the stars went dim, why couldn't you understand Couldn't really get It then, nah, I didn't even see your friend Said I was your Su-Per-Man we had Such a Spark Then Now I'm not even Clark Kent I can't even hold your hand Even when you told me to go to hell way you said it was heavenly Even when things went to hell Your hell was heaven to me You were my Super Woman but I said Super Girl The blueprint I was buildin' you saved my Whole World Then "Mutant," you'd say— and the metropolis would break. Nope not a rumor doomsday then apocalypse came [chorus | anthemic, full arrangement, layered] [female vocal] [vocals: soaring, fragile, strained, slight rasp and crack] [sforzando: drums and strings hit into the downbeat] But then I left you Cause I was scared of how you made me feel Yeah I left you Cause I wasn't really ready to heal You were perfect, didn't deserve it Still I ran from something' real Yeah I left you Cause I wasn't really ready to heal [verse 2 | denser, escalating] [male vocal] [rap | controlled, denser, faster, seething] [intensity: medium → high, held] That photo of us is still up on the wall. Back when we Trusted each other enough to Fall. The Fire we had before cold came cold shoulder colder leaves Rotten dreams n'Autumn leaves, colder nights n' rotten dreams All framed in Black n' White There's Lack n' Spite Arraigned, Linked, n' Locked away for Life Broken dreams n' open seams The bitterness we didn't need How we didn't need hopes n' dreams We fell for how oddly our screams n' scars Were so similarly arranged n' How we saw the seams of our hearts Are so similarly frayed So before I sleep to meet my demons I get to see the reason I can't stop screaming can't stop seething Seeing hope remained only in the open flame Yeah. I know what "it's over" means Frozen heat in freeze frame Spring break Summer ended in a beam spray But if I'm Wolverine that means you're Jean Grey [chorus | fuller, more desperate, layered harmonies] [female vocal] [vocals: soaring, straining harder, raw] [sforzando: drums and strings hit] But then I left you. I was scared of how you made me feel. Yeah, I left you. I wasn't ready to heal. You were perfect. Didn't deserve it. I ran from something real. Yeah, I left you. I wasn't ready to heal. [bridge | stripped-down, reflective] [break: piano and faint rain only] [male vocal] [vulnerable vocals: fragile, close-mic, minimal reverb] [decrescendo: down to near-whisper] Supergirl. You were my phoenix down. You raised me up when I was drownin' [whisper]...no one's here to hear this sound then— [sforzando: single-hit, percussive] [silence: sudden] [chorus | biggest moment, anthemic, layered, belted] [female vocal] [vocals: belted with rasp, soaring but devastated] [crescendo: full release] [intensity: explosive] But maybe in another life I'll make it right. Maybe in another life your stars could fill my nights. Maybe in another life you'll open up my heart. Maybe in another life we'll never drift apart. [outro | final chorus tail, reverb, fading] [decrescendo: fading into silence] [end]
