[Verse 1] You slammed the door, said “this can’t go on” Our final fight, already gone I breathe in silence that used to be you The bed is made like we never knew [Verse 2] Your boxes unpack, you step in the room You un-cry tears and rewrite the gloom We speak in reverse, the words unhurt You stitch back buttons on my shirt [Chorus] We end first, fall in love later Each second back makes the feeling greater From ashes to sparks, we catch the flame Unbreaking hearts as we forget the blame We end first, but don’t call it fate We’re loving in reverse, and it still feels great [Verse 3] The late night calls come back to life We kiss in rewind, unmake the strife Your lipstick fades from my coffee cup The first “I love you” building up [Bridge] Your scent leaves the air, then returns like spring Photos un-fade, rewind everything You leave my life, then walk back in From goodbye’s ghost to origin [Final Chorus] We end first, fall in love later Erase the pain, then savor the flavor The past is gone, we’re almost new A stranger smiles—and it’s you One look exchanged, a spark so small The first hello... and that’s all [Outro] I don’t know your name, not just yet But my soul already won’t forget
