(soft guitar notes echo)

Every love has a breaking point…
Some nights… we almost found ours.

[Verse 1 – Male Screams / gritty tone]

Another fight in the kitchen light
Words like knives in the dead of night
Silence screaming through the room
Like love was digging its own tomb

The door stood open like a threat
One more step and we'd forget
Every promise we once made
Everything we tried to save

[Pre-Chorus – Female Soft Vocals]

We were standing on the edge
Of everything we built

[Chorus – Male & Female Duet]

Female (melodic):
These were the nights we almost left
When love was hanging by a thread

Male (scream/clean mix):
When every word became a war
And we forgot what we were fighting for

Female:
But something pulled us back again

Male:
Some stubborn hope we couldn't end

Both:
These were the nights we almost broke
But somehow… we never let go

[Verse 2 – Male Screams]

Your suitcase sitting by the door
Like we had fought this fight before
Every tear another scar
Every mile suddenly far

But when you turned to walk away
Something made you hesitate
Like the ghosts of what we were
Still refusing to disperse

[Pre-Chorus – Female]

Maybe love is just the choice
To stay when leaving makes more noise

[Chorus – Duet]

Female:
These were the nights we almost left
When love was hanging by a thread

Male:
When every word became a war
And we forgot what we were fighting for

Female:
But something pulled us back again

Male:
Some stubborn hope we couldn't end

Both:
These were the nights we almost broke
But somehow… we never let go

[Breakdown – Male Screams]

WE WERE SECONDS FROM THE EDGE

SECONDS FROM THE END

ONE MORE STEP
AND WE WERE STRANGERS AGAIN

BUT SOMEWHERE IN THE CHAOS

SOMEWHERE IN THE PAIN

WE REMEMBERED
WHY WE STAYED

[Bridge – Male & Female soft duet]

Female:
Love isn't the easy days

Male:
It's the nights we almost walked away

Female:
And still chose to stay

[Final Chorus – Huge emotional duet]

Female:
These were the nights we almost left

Male:
When everything inside us said

Both:
Run away and start again

Female:
But something stronger pulled us in

Male:
Through every scar and every scar

Both:
We stayed exactly where we are

These were the nights we almost broke
But somehow… we never let go

[Outro – quiet guitar / female whisper]

The nights we almost left…
Are the nights that proved we stayed.
