[Intro – ruhige Gitarrenbegleitung] The coffee’s cold, the sun feels strange Your shadow’s still in every frame We spoke in silence more than words And love, it faded, but it didn’t burn [Verse 1] I packed my bags, you held the door No screaming match, just something more A quiet end, not full of hate Just two hearts lost at different weights [Chorus] We were broken but not lost Held on tight, then paid the cost You were my world, now you’re my friend Some stories change but never end What we had is not a lie — It made us stronger than goodbye [Verse 2] I see your name light up my phone It doesn’t hurt to be alone Sometimes we meet, sometimes we laugh The pain gave way to what we have [Chorus] We were broken but not lost Held on tight, then paid the cost You were my world, now you’re my friend Some stories change but never end What we had is not a lie — It made us stronger than goodbye [Bridge – mit Streichern, weich beginnend, dann aufbauend] We’ve both moved on, found different roads But in your strength, I found my own I learned to stand, to let things go And cherish what we still both know [Final Chorus – voller Aufbau, Background-Vocals & Gitarrensolo] We were broken but not lost Shared our hearts, despite the cost You were my world, now you’re my friend Some ties don’t break, they just transcend What we had, I won’t deny — It made us stronger than goodbye [Outro – sanftes Gitarrenmotiv, leise fade-out] Stronger than goodbye... Yeah, stronger than goodbye...
