[Instrumental] [Verse 1] She moved her books into my room, Said, “Your beds' comfier than mine.” We shared a toothbrush, shared the moon, And lost whole days in borrowed time. [Verse 2] We wrote poems on the grocery list, Burned toast, then laughed it off. She’d hum old Fleetwood Mac at night, And I swore that was enough. [Pre-Chorus] We thought rent and love were both things You could pay off late but keep. But hearts don’t work on due dates, And promises don’t come cheap. [Chorus] Oh, love; you messy, beautiful ache, You made angels out of our mistakes. We danced barefoot in the kitchen’s glow, Till the silence told us to let go. [Verse 3] Fights started soft “You’re working late,” Then bloomed into thunder cracks. The walls learned all our bitter lines, And whispered them right back. [Verse 4] She said she missed who I used to be, I said, “So do I, most nights.” We tried to fix what time erased, But you can’t heal ghosts with light. [Pre-Chorus 2] We loved like kids who never learned The art of gentle goodbyes. We kissed through tears, and every time Felt like our last try. [Chorus 2] Oh, love; you fragile, brilliant flame, You burned through joy, then through our names. We screamed just to prove we still could feel, But nothing broke that wasn’t real. [Bridge] The dishes stayed piled in the sink, The plants all wilted, one by one. She packed her things in quiet pink, And left before the dawn. [Verse 5] I still find strands of her blue hair, In sweaters I can’t throw away. Sometimes I play her vinyl slow, Just to hear her in the fade. [Chorus 3] Oh, love; you ghost in morning light, You still haunt my sleep at night. We were fire, we were storm, Now I’m ash where you were warm. [Outro] The walls remember how we laughed, How she painted stars on cracked white plaster. And though she’s gone, the air still hums Like she might walk in after. [Instrumental]
