[Verse 1]
He says
I kept your cup on the counter
Dust on the rim
But I leave it
Like proof that we once were daring
Before we learned how to leave
She says
I fold your shirt in the closet
Buttons that still know my fingers
I talk to the empty fabric
Pretend that it still breathes (oh)
[Chorus]
This is our sad love
Our suffering romance
Two ghosts in a hallway that never had a chance
We waltz through the wreckage
Pretend we belong
Holding to ashes
Ashes of our song
[Verse 2]
He says
Your name is stuck in my mirror
Fog on the glass
I write it
Then watch it fade into nothing
Like every half-kept vow
She says
I wear the ring in my pocket
Cold little circle of silence
It beats a bruise in my heartbeat
A secret I won’t show now
[Chorus]
This is our sad love
Our suffering romance
Two ghosts in a hallway that never had a chance
We waltz through the wreckage
Pretend we belong
Holding to ashes
Ashes of our song
[Bridge]
He asks
If I had loved you softer
Would you have stayed?
She asks
If I had loved you louder
Who’d we have betrayed?
Together
We meet in the middle
On a memory’s floor
Touch hands in a moment
Then close the same door (oh no)
[Chorus]
This is our sad love
Our suffering romance
Two ghosts in a hallway that never had a chance
We waltz through the wreckage
Pretend we belong
Holding to ashes
Ashes of our song
[Outro]
He says
I’m learning to miss you
She says
I’m trying to heal
Together
In different cities
We carry the same unreal
He says
I kept your cup on the counter
Dust on the rim
But I leave it
Like proof that we once were daring
Before we learned how to leave
She says
I fold your shirt in the closet
Buttons that still know my fingers
I talk to the empty fabric
Pretend that it still breathes (oh)
[Chorus]
This is our sad love
Our suffering romance
Two ghosts in a hallway that never had a chance
We waltz through the wreckage
Pretend we belong
Holding to ashes
Ashes of our song
[Verse 2]
He says
Your name is stuck in my mirror
Fog on the glass
I write it
Then watch it fade into nothing
Like every half-kept vow
She says
I wear the ring in my pocket
Cold little circle of silence
It beats a bruise in my heartbeat
A secret I won’t show now
[Chorus]
This is our sad love
Our suffering romance
Two ghosts in a hallway that never had a chance
We waltz through the wreckage
Pretend we belong
Holding to ashes
Ashes of our song

If I had loved you softer
Would you have stayed?
She asks
If I had loved you louder
Who’d we have betrayed?

This is our sad love

In different cities
We carry the same unreal
Stijl van muziek
Grand romantic ballad for male and female vocals; solo piano intro that blossoms into full symphony with soaring violins and warm strings. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, duet trading lines; choruses swell with lush orchestration and stacked harmonies. Bridge pulls back to almost a whisper, then final chorus hits with a cinematic rise and long reverb tail on the last note., drama, lyrical, sad, violin, male vocals, female vocals
