[Intro] (Slow piano, distant thunder, soft electric guitar swells) I still hear your footsteps In the silence after midnight… [Verse 1] Dust on the dashboard, rain on the hood We were holding on the best we could Streetlights fading like a dying flame But every mile still whispered your name Your hands were shaking in the passenger seat Trying not to break while breaking me We built our dreams like they could never fall Now I hear the echo in these empty halls [Pre-Chorus] And every prayer we buried in the dark Still leaves another scar across my heart [Chorus] I was the storm you learned to love The restless soul you couldn’t give up We burned so bright we lit the sky on fire Till the ashes buried our desire Now every memory cuts so deep Like a wound that never falls asleep I gave you everything in me But the last promise I couldn’t keep… Was keeping you from leaving me [Verse 2] Smoke from the tires underneath the moon Radio crying out another broken tune Your photograph still hanging by the door Like a ghost reminding me what for I chased forever with these empty hands Watched our heaven sink into the sand Every word I should’ve said too late Now lives inside these walls I cannot escape [Pre-Chorus] And every night I swear I hear your voice Somewhere between regret and choice [Chorus] I was the storm you learned to love The restless soul you couldn’t give up We burned so bright we lit the sky on fire Till the ashes buried our desire Now every memory cuts so deep Like a wound that never falls asleep I gave you everything in me But the last promise I couldn’t keep… Was keeping you from leaving me [Bridge] (Piano drops soft — emotional vocal delivery) If I could steal one more heartbeat One more moment in your arms I’d trade every road I ever traveled Just to go back to the start [Guitar Solo] (Huge emotional soaring guitar solo with melodic bends, layered harmonies, and dramatic arena-rock energy) [Final Chorus] I was the fire against your skin The only place you ever let me in And though the night keeps pulling us apart You’ll always be the rhythm in my heart Now every shadow speaks your name And nothing in this world feels the same I gave you every part of me But the last promise I couldn’t keep… Was saving us from losing everything [Outro] (Choir harmonies, crashing drums, fading guitar) The last promise… Still haunting me… The last promise… I couldn’t keep…
