[Verse 1] They said preserve the moment So I did, exactly that Trapped it in a frozen stare Framed in frost and steel and fact

[Pre-Chorus] You’re mid-word, I’m mid-blink And no one hears the scream beneath the ink

[Chorus] It’s a memory under glass You can’t touch it, but it cuts You say we were beautiful I say it’s not enough Your face is just a portrait Of everything we lost And I’m the girl who watches From the other side of frost

[Verse 2] Docents pass and point me out “The one who couldn’t let it go” But they weren’t there to see you leave While I stood frozen in that glow

[Pre-Chorus] Still mid-word, still mid-blink Still stuck between the fall and what we think

[Chorus Repeat] It’s a memory under glass You can’t touch it, but it cuts You say we were beautiful I say it’s not enough Your face is just a portrait Of everything we lost And I’m the girl who watches From the other side of frost

[Bridge] What if I opened the case And let the air rush in? Would we rot or finally breathe. Would it be love or just a sin?

[Final Chorus - Variation] It’s a memory under glass We both put it there, you know Preserved in all its failure So we’d never let it show

[Outro] I dust it once a year But I never walk away
