I stood above the streetlights, whispering your name Hoping the night would answer, but it never came I painted every silence as a secret meant for me But love was just an echo in a play I couldnβt see The roses wilted on the stage, their colors fading fast Every vow we never spoke was never meant to last Every shadow held a promise, every silence felt like truth But I was singing to an echo, never reaching you I canβt keep waiting for a hand that wonβt reach mine I canβt keep hoping for a story out of time Love isnβt written in the stars the way I believed Iβm stepping down before the night deceives The pages turned to ashes, the words just slipped away The stage we built together could never make you stay Your lines were sweet illusions; mine carried all the weight I kept the curtain open while you slipped out the gate I begged the night for answers, I begged the moon for signs But fairy tales donβt rescue hearts that break between the lines Every shadow held a promise, every silence felt like truth But I was singing to an echo, never reaching you I canβt keep waiting for a hand that wonβt reach mine I canβt keep hoping for a story out of time Love isnβt written in the stars the way I believed Iβm stepping down before the night deceives And maybe love was never meant to be a tragedy Maybe Iβll find it where the world is finally real The masks we wore are scattered, the costumes torn apart Iβm walking off this hollow stage to save my fragile heart [softer, stripped back] I canβt keep waiting for a hand that wonβt reach mine I canβt keep hoping for a story out of time Love isnβt written in the stars the way I believed Iβm stepping down before the night deceives I walk awayβ¦ From the lines we never said.
