Verse 1 We carved our names in the old oak tree Promised the moon and the years to be Your laugh was the only song I’d ever need Hand in hand through the fire and the rain I saw our forever written plain Two hearts beating in perfect symmetry Pre-Chorus I wanted mornings wrapped in your scent Nights where the world finally made sense You were my always, my everything Chorus But the light went out without warning Took my forever on a quiet morning Now I’m holding shadows where you used to lie Every breath still calls your name Through the hollow that remains I loved you deeper than the sky And I’ll carry you till the day I die Verse 2 We talked about houses and kids with your eyes Road trips and dancing under midnight skies You said “no matter what, it’s you and I” I still set the table for two sometimes Pour your favorite wine and play our song Pretend you’re just running late, not gone Pre-Chorus The future we built is fading like smoke But the love we made still burns and chokes Every memory cuts like a blade Chorus The light went out without warning Stole my forever on a quiet morning Now I’m holding shadows where you used to lie Every heartbeat whispers your name In this empty, endless ache I loved you deeper than the sky And I’ll carry you till the day I die Bridge [Heavy build with atmospheric guitars, then intense breakdown] If there’s a place beyond the veil… Save a seat… don’t let it sail… [Scream section – raw, guttural, pained screams] WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME HERE ALONE?! I WAS SUPPOSED TO GROW OLD WITH YOU! THIS PAIN WON’T LET ME GO! TAKE ME WITH YOU, I CAN’T DO THIS ANYMORE! [Spoken/semi-sung over rising tension] I’ll find you when my time runs out… Till then I’m trapped in this living tomb… Final Chorus [Clean melodic vocals layered with screams for emotional intensity] The light went out… BUT YOUR LOVE’S STILL BURNING! In every star and every turning I’ll hold your half of this broken heart You were my always, MY MISSING PART! EVEN DEATH CAN’T TEAR US APART! [Clean, soaring vocals] I loved you deeper than the sky… And I’ll meet you on the other side… [Final screamed line, fading into clean harmony] I’LL CARRY YOU… TILL THE DAY I DIE!
