I Never Wanted Us to End

[Verse 1] I still see you in the softest light Even now, even past goodbye Your shadow’s woven in the air I breathe Every road I take still leads to “we” The night falls slow, but it’s colder now I keep asking the wind somehow If it can carry back the time we had Before it all turned quiet, before it went bad [Pre-Chorus] I’d give anything just to feel your hand To live in the place where we both still stand [Chorus] I never wanted us to end Never wanted to lose my best friend Even in the storm, even in the fire You were my calm, my one desire I never wanted us to fade Every memory’s the bed I’ve made And I’m holding on, till my heart can bend I never wanted us to end [Verse 2] Your laugh still lingers in the pouring rain And I dance alone just to hear your name Every song feels like the night we met And I’m not ready to forget The way your eyes could rewrite the sky The way your touch made the world feel right Now I’m left with echoes and empty streets But your voice in the wind still speaks [Pre-Chorus] I’d give anything just to feel your hand To live in the place where we both still stand [Chorus] I never wanted us to end Never wanted to lose my best friend Even in the storm, even in the fire You were my calm, my one desire I never wanted us to fade Every memory’s the bed I’ve made And I’m holding on, till my heart can bend I never wanted us to end [Breakdown – soft guitar + ocean FX + reverse swell into big drop] [Bridge] If I could turn back time, I’d run to you If I could change the ending, I’d see it through But here in the waves, I still pretend That somehow, we never reached the end [Final Chorus – full harmonies, bigger drop] I never wanted us to end Never wanted to lose my best friend Even in the storm, even in the fire You were my calm, my one desire I never wanted us to fade Every memory’s the bed I’ve made And I’m holding on, till my heart can bend I never wanted us to end [Outro – fading guitar + waves] I never wanted… Never wanted us to end
