Between Us

Title: “Between Us” Verse 1 I woke up with the morning staring back Said the world’s on fire, it’s always been that Coffee tastes like yesterday’s regret And the mirror won’t answer me yet Boots by the door, they’ve seen some miles Every step’s a question, every grin’s a trial I learned how to bend but not how to break Still carrying weight I didn’t make Pre-Chorus Hands in the dirt, eyes on the wire Waiting on truth like it owes me a favor Chorus There’s distance between us, heavy and loud Words fall apart when you don’t say them out loud I’m calling for honesty, you’re nodding along We’re both telling different versions of what went wrong oohnnnggn onnng Verse 2 Streetlight flickers like it’s tired too Knows all my secrets, won’t tell on who I’ve been loyal to ghosts that won’t come back And I’ve paid full price for the love I lack Every promise felt right at the start But time’s got a way of tearing the art Now I’m counting breaths like borrowed change Trying to prove that I still can change Pre-Chorus Truth’s got a habit of showing up late Right when you’re done negotiating with fate Chorus There’s distance between us, cutting the line I reach for you but you’re just out of time I’m bleeding honesty, you’re wearing a grin If this is forgiveness, tell me when it begins innnssn nnnnnss niiinnnssn aaa nnnns Bridge Maybe I’m wrong Maybe I stayed too long Maybe love’s just a test With no passing score, no rest I don’t need saving I just need real Something that hurts Something I can feel Chorus There’s distance between us, but I’m still here Standing in the fallout, facing the fear If we burn it down, let it light the way I’d rather feel everything than fade away aayyyy.. wayyyyy way.. uhh.. ahh. uh.. Outro So I’ll stand in the open, barefoot and bruised If I lose myself, at least I choose No clear answers, no easy excuse Just the space between us… And the truth.
