Lyric

Midnight on the balcony

Your hair in my trembling hands

Laughing while the city sleeps

I swear my future just changed plans

You were my split-second heaven

Gone in the time of a breath

I keep replaying that moment

Like you're about to say "yes"

Every heartbeat keeps begging

For a scene we never get

You were my split-second heaven

And my favorite regret

Yesterday’s messages glow

Your name like a quiet flame

I write you a thousand replies

Delete every one again

You were my still-frame confession

Paused on the edge of a leap

I never said what I wanted

Now I talk to you in my sleep

Every silence is louder

Than the words I never let free

You were my still-frame confession

And it’s burning through me

Highways remember your song

I drive just to chase your ghost

Mouth of the river at dawn

Whispers the things I lost most

You were my almost-forever

Hanging by one little thread

Two hearts that circled each other

Too scared to move straight ahead

All of my plans fell to pieces

When you slipped out of my hands

You were my almost-forever

That my timeline can’t stand

Dreams keep returning your touch

Too real for my waking eyes

I wake with your name in my throat

Choking on half-finished lies

You were my beautiful ending

Written on pages I hid

I turn them carefully

Slowly

Reading the life that we did

Every chapter is aching

For a truth I never could speak

You were my beautiful ending

In a story I’m scared to keep

If I could fall back through that door

Let every "maybe" hit the floor (Oh)

Would you rewrite your leaving too

Or were we built to break in two
