[Intro – distant street noise, soft crying under breath] [Anne, barely audible] I thought today would be easy… [Mira, voice trembling] Just one day… just one… [quiet sobbing, breath unsteady] [Verse 1 – Anne] We were glowing in the April sun Cheap wine, loud streets, everyone Draped in orange, careless smiles For a moment, safe a while Your hand traced circles in my skin Like the world could just let us in I leaned close, you closed your eyes We forgot the rules they write [Pre-Chorus – Mira, trembling] And I swear I heard the city breathe Like it finally made space for me [Chorus – Both, fragile → breaking] But then they said, “Please don’t do that here” Like our love was something to fear Like our lips could poison the air Like we shouldn’t even be there [voice cracks] “We have children—we must protect” From what? From love? From respect? [soft sobbing] I held you tighter but it still broke through The way they looked at me… at you [Verse 2 – Mira, voice shaking] Their chairs scraped loud against the ground Every eye just turned around I felt sixteen years old again Like I’d done something I can’t defend You pulled back, I saw your face That quiet, practiced kind of shame We’ve learned to shrink, to disappear But I thought—we were safer here [Pre-Chorus – Anne, almost whispering] King’s Day flags and decorations above Is there on this day still room for love? [Chorus – Both, louder, anger rising] They said, “This isn’t something right” So we swallowed all our pride On a terrace, broad daylight Still we’re told to hide, to fight [voice breaks harder] “We just want to keep them clean” From a love they’ve never seen [audible sob] If innocence means we must erase Then what kind of world is this place? [Bridge – spoken/half-sung, raw emotion] [Anne, crying softly] I didn’t know where to put my hands… [Mira, voice trembling] I didn’t know where to look… [Together, breaking] We did nothing wrong Nothing wrong Nothing wrong— [full sobbing] [Bridge continues – building anger] Why is our love a warning sign? Why do we apologize? For every stare, every word Every time we’re made absurd [voice cracks into near-shout] We were just two wives in the sun Now we feel like we’re on the run [Final Chorus – both, explosive then collapsing] If love is “wrong,” then let it burn We’re done begging for our turn But it hurts—it still hurts Every whisper, every slur [crying openly] We kissed once and paid the price For daring just to live our lives [soft, fading, broken] On a terrace in daylight… We disappeared that night [Outro – fragile, almost silence] [Mira] Hold my hand… don’t let me go… [Anne, barely audible] I won’t… I won’t… [quiet sobbing fades out] [Outro – almost silence, shaky breathing]
