(Spoken Word Intro) They write songs about it. The kind of love that falls apart, that ends in a blaze of glory or a slow-burning tear. They put it on the radio and call it a classic. But they don't know the first thing about what "epic" really means... (Verse 1) This isn't a ballad like "I Will Always Love You," Where the goodbye's a promise, and the words ring true. It's more like "Love Will Tear Us Apart," a cruel and empty sound, A battlefield of silence on our broken ground. The kind of "Someone Like You" that makes you want to lie, And tell yourself that everything's going to be alright, yeah. We left that kind of ending on a lonely road still bending, Left it all in the rear-view of the past. (Verse 2) They say "Crazy" comes from a place of pure devotion, A wildfire burning with a desperate motion. And this isn't "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" with a perfect tune, It's a "Wrecking Ball" of passion beneath a lonely moon. It's the fear of "Un-Break My Heart," when it's just too late, A desperate plea against a twist of fate, yeah. But this ain't chaos for chaos' sake, This is a promise we're willing to make. (Chorus) 'Cause we don't need a tragedy, we don't need the fall, Our love is the lightning that lights up the sky. It ain't a legend fading into stone, It's the wild truth that rips you from the bone. Stronger than any ghost from history's past, It's a different kind of flame, built to truly last. Yeah baby, just you and I, you and I. (Verse 3) There's the ghostly echo of "Nothing Compares 2 U," That empty feeling of a life you once knew. And the quiet torment of "Hallelujah," a broken melody, A confession whispered for the world to see. This is the cold ache of "Yesterday," a moment that's lost, A beautiful memory, no matter the cost, yeah. We're not living in that empty space, We're building a new future for you and me, today. (Verse 4) This isn't "My Heart Will Go On" with a perfect end, A hope in the distance, a place to start again. This is a love like "Creep," a quiet, hidden pain, A feeling you're not good enough to ever contain. We’re the kind of “Don’t Speak” that says it all with a tear, Two souls in a silence that's louder than any fear, yeah. There's no pretense, no sad masquerade, This is the most honest love we've ever made. (Chorus) 'Cause we don't need a tragedy, we don't need the fall, Our love is the lightning that lights up the sky. It ain't a legend fading into stone, It's the wild truth that rips you from the bone. Stronger than any ghost from history's past, It's a different kind of flame, built to truly last. Yeah baby, just you and I, you and I. (Verse 5) They sing of "The Dance" where a memory is all that remains, Of "What Hurts the Most" is a heart's broken chains. They write about "All Too Well," a story with no real win, Just a tragic tale of how things should have been. But our story's messy, a glorious, beautiful fight, And we'll hold onto it, with all of our might, yeah. We're not a book on a dusty shelf, We're a living story for ourselves. (Verse 6) This ain't just "I Can't Help Falling in Love," a simple, gentle plea, This is a choice to stand right here with you and me. It’s more than "Just the Way You Are," a song that’s sweet and kind, It’s a furious connection for a heart that was blind. They can sing about forever, in the pale moonlight, We’re living in a moment that’s burning so damn bright, yeah. This is more than a timeless vow, It's the wild truth of us, right here and now. (Chorus) 'Cause we don't need a tragedy, we don't need the fall, Our love is the lightning that lights up the sky. It ain't a legend fading into stone, It's the wild truth that rips you from the bone. Stronger than any ghost from history's past, It's a different kind of flame, built to truly last. Yeah baby, just you and I, you and I.
