Verse 1 I was seventeen, my whole world was you Dark eyes like midnight, nothing felt more true I gave you my days, my future, my plans Not knowing love slips through open hands Verse 2 The radio played songs I took too deep Promises I didn’t know how to keep Maybe I loved louder than I should Maybe you just wanted something understood Pre-Chorus On the road to the bus terminal Silence said what words couldn’t do When you whispered “it’s over now” Time broke in two Chorus (DUET) I waited (Even when I didn’t know how) I carried you wherever I went (Even when I tried letting you down) Now I know (What the years made clear) You weren’t meant to stay in my life (But you stayed where love appears) Verse 3 Three years away, another land A different heart, but the same demand When I came back, I saw your face And the kiss said more than fate could erase Bridge “Why did you come back now?” That question still remains There was love inside that moment But no future left to claim Final Chorus (DUET – MORE INTIMATE, EMOTIONAL) I learned (Not every love survives) Some are only meant to show (How deeply we can feel alive) Now I know (No pain, no fear within) You’re not what I lost back then (You’re just…) A good memory in me OUTRO (INSTRUMENTAL ONLY – 5–10 SECONDS) Soft saxophone, warm and breathy, emotional but restrained, fading naturally
